ŌĆ£Bright ideas on saving electricityŌĆØ - a public awareness initiative from Hayleys Lighting
Hayleys Lighting launched a booklet titledŌĆ£SaveElectricity, Save MoneyŌĆØ which features tips on how to cut costs on electricity. The launch took place at a press conference held at MihilakaMedura-BMICH on the 28th of January 2014. This booklet is a social responsible initiative to inculcate prudent electricity usage habits amongst the public. The booklet lists out ways in which daily routine work can be done smarter that would result in conservation of energy and savings.
The booklet was officially presented by Mr. Mohan Pandithage, Chairman of Hayleys PLC to Mr.Upali DaranagamaAdditional Secretary to the Ministry of Power and Energy who was the first recipient at the launch conference setting the stage for this educative initiative in building a sustainable and a greener future.
Saving is an important part of life. From ancient times of agrarian society the prudent, the wise, the progressive people were those who saved. This holds true today in an environment of escalating costs.
The increased electricity tariff of the recent past has become an important area that demands saving. An almost impossible task, yet if one is smart there are ways to get great savings in this area. A considerable share of a household expense is spent on electricity, so the first step is to start saving on the electricity bill. Saving on electricity does not necessarily mean that one has to stay in the dark, unplug the fridge, stop using labour saving devices or go around with crushed clothes. There are several smart ways that can be employed to ensure ŌĆślife as usualŌĆÖ and yet control the electricity units consumed. Initiating a few simple steps can amazingly reduce the electricity bill.
Reducing the electricity bill is not only important to personal finance management but also a moral obligation to society.
Energy sources are limited, especially fossil fuel and hydro which contributes significantly with 63% and 34% respectively towards the generation of electricity in Sri Lanka. Due to this fact, the generation of electricity has become expensive. The recent hike in electricity tariffs have sent shock waves that have got people scuttling to switch off and reduce consumption to such a degree that it has eroded the lifestyle of many.
Keeping the electricity bill down whilst saving energy is the way forward and the future. Hence being aware of the most efficient ways to use electricity has great bearing on personal savings, lifestyles and a countryŌĆÖs future. ŌĆ£It is for this very reason that Hayleys Lighting initiated a public awareness message by publishing the booklet titled ŌĆ£Save Electricity - Save MoneyŌĆØ which would be distributed free to households. This booklet highlights the many ways in which savings could be gained by simply employing smart ways of doing things that cut down unnecessary electricity consumption. Many people are not aware of these simple but effective ways to save. When implemented the savings roll-in throughout the day from many tasks that otherwise would have an adverse impact on the electricity consumptionŌĆØ said Mr. Abdul Zubair, Chief Executive Officerof Hayleys Lighting.
ŌĆ£This public awareness initiative has been done in collaboration with Philips Lighting. Philips is a global brand that has been committed to consumer centric and green technologies which have resulted in meaningfuland innovative technologies that help people to be healthy, live well and enjoy life. HayleysŌĆÖ association with this global brand has been since 1983 and Philips together with Hayleys has always been mindful of sustainability and social responsibility. We see the booklet initiative as yet another step in contributing towards this endeavorŌĆØ said Mr. Sarath Ganegoda, Managing Director - Hayleys Lighting and Director of Hayleys PLC.
With the need for urgent action to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, the latest data from Philips highlights the opportunity for emission reductions by switching to energy efficient lighting. By 2020, Philips predicts that 30% less energy will be used for lighting compared to 2006 as a result of the adoption of energy efficient lighting. These savings represent a 515 million ton reduction in CO2 emissions.
Save Electricity, Save Money
Hayleys Lighting highlights Philips CFLŌĆÖs superior technology
Lighting plays a vital role in the quality of life as it affects productivity, emotion, sight and wellbeing. Today most of our days are spent indoors under artificial lighting. At times we spend as much as 8 ŌĆō 15 hours under artificial lighting. This is especially experienced at work places, apartments and condominiums which generally require artificial lighting the entire daytime. This can have negative impact especially if the lighting conditions are not adequate or do not meet the standards specified by the industry for safe usage. Based on these concerns Hayleys Lighting launched its new Philips Lighting promotional campaign as a means to draw the publicŌĆÖs awareness to the safety aspect of Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL) usage.
ŌĆ£Today, with the escalating cost of electricity and cost of living people are looking for means of cutting down costs and consumption and often compromises on quality and safety for cost saving. Whilst saving is paramount, safety and protection to life and limb needs to be given equal or more consideration due to its impact. The effects on health and wellbeing have far more reaching consequences than saving. It is for this reason that we took this approach with our new campaign. Philips is a brand that leads consumer centric innovation and carries the highest standards in product safetyŌĆØ said Rahaman Zubair Chief Executive Officer of Hayleys Lighting.
Therefore the public has the right to correct information, and has the right to decide wisely.
The main safety factor to be considered is UV radiation that is emitted by the CFLs. Should the CFL bulbŌĆÖs phosphor coating be faulty in standard there could be a risk of UV radiation exposure to the user. This is further compounded by the fact that the permitted Exposure time (PET) to a CFL is 8 hours at a stretch.Very often people spend more than 8 hours under artificial light which most often is provided by CFL.
Philips CFL surpasses this industry standard to give a 24 hour permitted exposure time. The ability to give this extended time arises from the superior technology of PHILIPs. Philips CFLs use two protective layers namely the brand uses Cerium glass and secondly it uses the smallest phosphor grain for the glass coating negating any harmful UV radiation escaping the bulb. Philips CFLs also use the latest bright booster technology that ensures more than 80% savings and offers long lasting consistent light throughout the lifetime of the product. Philips CFLs are environmentally friendly due to the lowest mercury content and recycling of mercury and has been certified by Planet ark as being environmentally friendly. Philips initiated and maintained the use of low mercury for its CFLs since 2007
ŌĆ£Today many CFLs are marketed branded and unbranded in the country. Only a few avail themselves to standards that are stipulated locally and internationally. Therefore it is always advisable to check the safety standards that the product conforms to in addition to the cost savings it would offer prior tomaking a purchase decision. A decision that could result in far reaching consequences than a few rupees saved ŌĆ£said Sarath Ganegoda Managing Director of Hayleys Lighting / Director Hayleys PLC.
Hayleys Lighting is a subsidiary company of Hayleys PLC and has been the sole distributor for Philips Lighting since 1983. Philips markets a range of innovative lighting products which range from the simplest house bulb to specialized Industrial lighting solutions.
Right to Light and Protection
Lighting is integral to life. To sustain life light is essential. Lighting plays a vital role in the quality of life as it affects productivity, emotion, sight and wellbeing. Today most of our days are spent indoors under artificial lighting. At times we spend as much as 8 ŌĆō 15 hours under artificial lighting. This is specially experienced at work places, apartments and condominiums which generally require artificial lighting the entire daytime.

Whilst saving is paramount, safety and protection to life and limb needs to be given equal or more consideration due to its impact. The effects on health and wellbeing have far more reaching consequences than saving. As the saying goes ŌĆ£If wealth is lost nothing is lost, if health is lost something is lostŌĆ"ŌĆØ Therefore the public has the right to correct information, and has the right to decide wisely.
Most households and institutes use CFLs as a means to overcome the escalating cost of lighting and tend to purchase them taking into consideration the cost factor only. However there is certainly more factors that needs to be considered if safe usage is to be ensured.
The main safety factor to be considered is UV radiation that is emitted by the CFLs. Should the CFL bulbŌĆÖs phosphor coating be faulty in standard there could be a risk of UV radiation exposure to the user. This is further compounded by the fact that the permitted time of exposure to a CFL is 8 hours at a stretch. The prolonged exposure to these harmful rays on the long term brings about migraine, photosensitive eye conditions, skin cancer and many other ailments. Therefore simply considering only the cost factor of the purchase could prove detrimental to ones wellbeing.
Today many CFLs are marketed branded and unbranded in the country. Only a few avail themselves to standards that are stipulated locally and internationally.

Philips LED lighting - See what Light can do
11th June, 2012
Hayleys Consumer launched the much acclaimed Philips LED lamp to the Sri Lankan market on the 5th of June to coincide with World Environment day. The Philips LED lamps are showcased at Hayleys Lightcraft-Narahenpita and at Haymart - Deans road.
Light emitting diodes (LED) have advanced rapidly enabling an entirely new category of lighting that is highly efficient, long lasting and environmentallyfriendly thanthe traditional incandescent lighting (GLS) or CFLs. Whilst the traditional bulb is a low energy efficient source of light converting only 10% of energy consumed to make visible light the CFL is environmentally unfriendly due to mercury usage.
On both counts and more LEDs are efficient and are advantageous over other light sources due to its:
High level of brightness and intensity
High efficiency - saves 80%
Low voltage and current requirements
Low radiated heat
No UV rays
Long Life of 15 years or more
Highly reliable being resistant to shock and vibration
Philips LEDs have won many international awards for design, performance excellence and positive impact on the environment;the most recent award being the US Department of Energy - Bright tomorrow Lighting prize or L prize for the 60 watt replacement bulb category which was released on 2012 Earth day. Thus Sri Lankan's can now enjoy the benefits of energy saving and hazard free lighting technology with a world renowned brand that trail blazes ahead of competition.

The sleek X10 is a sophisticated compact digital camera that follows in the footsteps of the multi-award winning FUJIFILM X100, and it combines a trim and refined blackout design, an easy-to-use manual barrel zoom lens and a traditional optical viewfinder with a wide 20┬░ field of view for exceptional image composition. The X10's stunning body is built from lightweight, yet ultra strong, die-cast magnesium alloy and has an upper control deck with mode dials and an aluminum milled, textured finish lens ring. The 4x manual zoom lens ring doubles as an on/off power switch, ensuring fast start times to capture even the most fleeting shooting scenario.

The lenses themselves: 18mm (27mm equivalent) f/2.0, 35mm (53mm equivalent) f/1.4 and 60mm (90mm equivalent) f/2.4, are all bright and compact and designed to deliver sharp, clear images of uncompromising quality.

Hayleys Consumer Illuminates MRICS - Sooriyawewa with Philips for World Cup
21st Feb, 2011 - Colombo
The inaugural match at 'Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium - Sooriyawewa' took place yesterday in Hambantota. Preparation for this much awaited cricketing arena has been relentlessly pursued during the past months, Hayleys Lighting partnered with Philips to provide the flood lighting system for this magnificent stadium.
Professional cricket is one of the world's biggest entertainment industries and lighting plays a huge role in enabling the players to perform their best while enhancing the viewing experience of spectators and TV viewers. Plus stringent lighting requirements of TV crews capturing the excitement and drama of the game.
Philips Lighting has pioneered lighting innovation in sports since the 1952 Olympics Games in Oslo.
Since then Philips Lighting has been a technical partner to sports federations such as FIFA (Football), ITF (Tennis), FIH (Hockey) and IAAF (Athletics). This expertise and the fact that Philips Lighting has implemented many lighting solutions at world renowned cricket stadiums across Australia, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, South Africa and the Middle East which includes stadiums such as the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Brisbane Cricket Ground, Adelaide Oval, in Australia, Eden Gardens, Roop
Singh in India and Gaddafi and Multan in Pakistan amongst many others, made them a preferred supplier for this project together with the fact that
the Philips brand is represented in Sri Lanka by Hayleys
, a well-established Sri Lankan conglomerate and market leader in many diverse industries and winner of the Best Corporate Citizen Award for the fourth time.
The light masts and flood lighting of the stadium grounds has been done in compliance with ICC standards. All lamps, luminaires and control gear were supplied by Philips while the project partners were Sanken Lanka (Civil) and Fentons (Electrical)
The building of the stadium is a landmark project, as this venue was built from scratch - reclaimed from the harsh environment to provide an opportunity for the people in this seemingly remote area of Hambantota in the deep south of the country to be connected to the world through a world event as the Cricket World Cup, a tournament that is so ardently followed by a cricket loving nation as our country Sri Lanka. This also gives an opportunity for those in the area, to see world cricket live in their own turf, fulfilling a vision set by 'Tharunayata Hetak' and the Sri Lanka Cricket Board to foster the game at grassroots level.
The flood lighting of the Hambantota stadium is yet another laurel to the long list of prestigious projects handled by Hayleys Lighting that include lighting projects such as; the Bandaranaike International Airport , Central Bank, HNB Towers, Ceylinco Towers and the National Football stadium in Maldives.
Hayleys Consumer - "Fostering Cricket at Grassroots Level"
26th August, 2010 - Colombo
Hayleys Consumer, a fully owned subsidiary of Hayleys PLC and a household name representing many 'well known' international brands which include market leaders such as Philips lighting, FujiFilm and P&G products has signed up with Sri Lanka Cricket and the Colombo Colts Cricket Club (Colts) in an endeavor to develop budding, promising talent, by sponsoring club cricket. Club cricket has now become an important avenue by which new and dynamic talent gets channeled into the national team. Thus club cricket has created a mechanism for identifying and nurturing this talent and is a spring that continuously feeds the national team with new players - an important mechanism that is required for a test playing nation such as ours.
Hayleys as a corporate has always come forward to help local communities in many spheres of life, in an attempt to improve their standard of living. This fact was well established by Hayleys being judged 'The Best Corporate Citizen' for 2010 by the Ceylon
Chamber of Commerce, bearing testimony to the impact of Hayleys in the CSR area. This was the fourth occasion that Hayleys was adjudged "The Best Corporate Citizen".
As the company's very first foray into the sporting arena, Hayleys is proud to be associated with Colombo Colts Cricket Club, one of the premier cricket clubs in the country, and to be playing a vital role in the individual development of players as well as the overall development of cricket, both at national and international level.
Colts has been in the cricketing arena for well over 30 years and produced many key players who have gone on to play for the national side, including opening bowler and match-winner Chaminda Vaas and probably the most promising youngster in the national side, Angelo Mathews. In addition the club has also produced upcoming young players in the likes of Nuwan Kulasekara, Jeewantha Kulathunga, Thisara Perera and Malinda Warnapura.
All three players in this venture are confident this partnership will be mutually beneficial for all parties, paving the way for more ventures of similar vein in the future, resulting in the youth of the country being the ultimate winner, with better and brighter prospects for their future.

Psychiatrist: Self-Hating Blacks With Low Self-Esteem & Anger Issues Are Rioting in Baltimore (VIDEO)
Dr. Keith Ablow went on FOX and Friends this morning to discuss the recent rioting in Baltimore.
Ablow said the Baltimore protesters were hostage to entitlements. They suffered low self esteem and anger issues and what we saw this week was an explosive outburst of this pent up rage.
Ablow also ripped Baltimore mother Toya Graham, the mom who pulled her son from the Baltimore riots and slapped him silly.

In part 1 of this series, Dr. Alvin Plantinga addressed the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as this would be contrary to science. Here in part 2, Plantinga examines classical science based on Newtonian physics. He notes that the laws supposedly preventing God from acting in the world apply only to closed or isolated systems. But if God were to act, the system would be open and the conservation laws would not no longer be applicable. God does not have to "violate" these laws to act, and thus divine action is not "prohibited" by classical science.
In this four-part series, we provide the video of Professor Plantiga's lecture as well as a written version of his presentation.
Modern theologians and scholars participate in the world of science, and the world of science (or the scientific method) precludes God's acting in the world specially. It is ok that he creates the world and creates it with certain laws, but then after that, if he does anything further in it, that would be interference. Why is that?
The idea is, as we will see in a minute, the idea is that science proposes certain kinds of laws, and if God did something special in the world, he would be going contrary to those laws, and that couldn't happen. Now, it is not just theologians who say this kind of thing, but also philosophers. So, for example, Philip Clayton says,
Science has created a challenge to theology by its remarkable ability to explain and predict natural phenomena. Any theological system that ignores the picture of the world painted by scientific results is certain to be regarded with suspicion.
Ok, fair enough, maybe that's right, but then he goes on,
…but science is often identified with determinism. In a purely deterministic universe, there would be no room for God to work in the world, except to the sort of miraculous intervention that the 18th century philosopher David Hume and many of his readers found to be so insupportable. Thus many, both inside and outside of theology, have abandoned any doctrine of divine action as incompatible with the natural sciences.
That is the problem: incompatible with the natural sciences. Special divine action is incompatible with the natural sciences, and it is not only theologians and philosophers who say this sort of thing, also many scientists do. For example, many of you are probably aware of Richard Dawkins, and I know he has got a friend named Peter Atkins. Richard Dawkins is one of the dreaded four horsemen of atheism. There are the four horsemen of the apocalypse, the four horsemen of Notre Dame, and now there are the four horsemen of atheism, and Richard Dawkins is—I guess he's the chief horse, you would have to say—maybe the biggest horse.
Dawkins has got this book called The God Delusion. Now, he has written some books that I think are good books. For example, The Blind Watchmaker is a very good book, very much worth reading, but this book The God Delusion seems to me to be more like an ignorant screed than a real contribution to any particular discussion at all. So scientists like Dawkins and Atkins, I would think of (not to put too fine a point on it) as sort of dancing on the lunatic fringe, but there are other scientists, very sensible, respectable ones, like H. Allen Orr.
Well, what happened was this: H. Allen Orr reviewed a book of Richard Dawkins. The name of the book was A Devil's Chaplain, and H. Allen Orr said that Dawkins did not know anything about religion. His review was not very positive because he [Dawkins] completely misunderstood religion, and he was far too censorious about it, far too condemnatory... Orr wrote this review in the New York Review of Books.
Well then, another scientist wrote in on the next issue in the letter's column and said, "Well, look, you know, religions in general, many religions posit miracles and that is a bad thing' and then H. Allen Orr said in response, "Right…it is not that some sects of one religion invoke miracles, but that many sects of many religions do. Moses, after all, parted the waters and Krishna healed the sick. I agree of course that no sensible scientists can tolerate such exceptionalism with respect to the laws of nature."
They can't tolerate it. Of course, if God really does do miracles, it is not going to matter a lot whether scientists or anybody else tolerate it—I mean, it is not really up to them, you know? You can't really tell God, "Well I won't tolerate that!" You can give it a try, but you know you are not going to be very successful. It reminds me a little bit of a 19th century woman transcendentalist philosopher whose name was Margaret Fuller. Margaret Fuller once announced, she said, "I accept the universe," whereupon Mark Twain said, "Good grief, I didn't know it had been offered to her!"
So there is something overweening about accepting the universe or saying you're not going to tolerate miracles one way or the other. It is not going to matter that much one way or the other. So the real problem here is that science promulgates natural laws; the real problem seen by these philosophers, theologians and scientists is that science promulgates natural laws, but if God did any miracles or acted specially in the world, he would have to contravene these laws; you have to go against them. He would have to break these laws, and that is contrary to science. One famous kind of statement along these lines is by Rudolf Bultmann: "Someone who avails herself/himself of modern medicine and uses the modern radio, not to mention television, computers, digital cameras, the kind of phones you can send messages on, such a person cannot also believe in the spirit and wonder-world of the New Testament."
Ok, now my question is: is all this really true? I want to talk first about what I will call the old picture, and then I want to talk about the new picture. Bultmann and his friends are apparently thinking in terms of science that would be Newtonian mechanics. You know Newton's laws of motion, Newton's law of gravity, together with the later physics of electricity and magnetism that you find represented by Maxwell's equations. So he is thinking about classical science, the kind we all learned about in high school (Newtonian physics was, of course, extremely influential).
So here is the Newtonian world picture then: God has created the world, (Newton thought God created the world) and the world was like an enormous machine which proceeds according to fixed laws. These are the laws of classical science, Newton's laws of motion and Maxwell's equations…Newton's law of gravity and the like, but that is not sufficient just thinking that. That is not sufficient for anti-interventionism or hands-off theology. Newton himself, you would think, accepted the Newtonian world picture—I mean, if Newton didn't accept it, who would? It would be kind of a scandal if he didn't.
Newton himself accepted the Newtonian picture, but he did not accept hands-off theology. Newton's laws describe how the world works provided that the world is a closed isolated system subject to no outside causal influence. So Newton himself thought that God had to intervene every now and then and adjust the orbits of the planets, and if he didn't do that, their orbits would spiral off into incoherence. He thought that God acted in the world regularly, so he didn't accept hands off theology.
What he did accept was that his laws described the world as the world is—provided it's a closed or isolated system, provided there isn't any causal influence from outside the world. The great conservation laws that are deduced from Newton's laws (conservation of energy, conservation of momentum, and conservation of angular momentum and so on), these great conservation laws deduced from Newton's laws, they are stated for closed or isolated systems.
You see a bit there from a widely used college textbook called University Physics, by Sears and Zemansky. In it they say, "This is the principle of the conservation of linear momentum: when no resultant external force acts on a system, the total momentum of the system remains constant in magnitude and direction." They also say the principle of the conservation of energy states that "the internal energy of an isolated system remains constant." This is the most general statement of the principle of the conservation of energy.
So, you get the idea, these laws—Newton's laws, his law of gravitation, his laws of motion, conservation laws that are deduced from Newton's laws—these apply to closed or isolated systems, where there isn't any causal input from the outside... If that is true, there is nothing here to prevent God from changing the velocity or direction of a particle, or for that matter, creating ex-nihilo a full-grown horse.
I say God could create ex-nihilo a full grown horse in the middle of time square in New York City, without violating any of these laws for the following reason: energy is conserved in a closed system, but any system in which God acted in such a way would not be a closed system. So the laws tell us how things go with closed systems, but they don't say anything about systems that aren't closed.
If you consider God is creating a full-grown horse ex-nihilo, say on the stage here, then any system that included that horse—this whole building, for example, the whole city of Los Angeles, the whole state of California, the United States, the whole earth—any system that included that horse would not be a closed system. There would be input from outside the system into the system, but if that is the case, then the conservation laws don't apply to that system. They only tell you what things are like in a closed system.
So these principles, I say, apply to isolated or closed systems, but then there is nothing to prevent God from creating ex-nihilo a full-grown horse. Energy is conserved in a closed system, but not in just any old system or at least the laws don't say anything about unclosed systems, and it is no part of Newtonian mechanics or classical science generally to declare that the material universe, the whole physical universe is a closed system; that's not part of physics. Physics tells us that for any two objects there is a force, that they attract each other with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportionally to the square of the distance between them. It tells us that; it tells us lots of other things, but it does not go on to say "and furthermore the whole material or physical universe is a closed system". That would be more like a theological or philosophical add on, that would not be part of the science just as such; you won't find that in any physics textbooks.

If you are like me and you find yourself driving across time several times daily from daycare, to work, to schools and sporting activities … we are always on the move. Gas can get really expensive for an active family costing them an average of $3,000 every year (that's $250 a month)!!! Before you get the filler-upper blues, try some of these tips and tricks to keep your wallet feeling a little better about those car trips!
1. Check your tires air pressure often! Tires that are low on air can actually make your car work harder and use more gas. If you check the air-pressure and make sure to top it off when it needs it, you'll shave off some gas usage. Likewise, keep up with those oil changes! The smoother your engine is running the better miles/gallon you'll get!
2. Join a rewards program. Many gas-retail establishments now offer reward cards that give you points for purchases of items like milk, bread, or other general goods. Some even give you points when you fill up your tank. It could be a credit card with a cash back reward system or a simple free rewards card, but it's worth it to take note of how you can save. If you have a gas station on the way home, stop in and find out about their rewards program. For programs that reward you for buying things in the store, make it a habit to buy your milk and misc. from
the gas station on your way home, earning you points that you can later use for a better gas price!
3. Do you want a car wash? – No you don't!!! Don't get fooled by this clever marketing scheme (unless you actually need a car wash). Let's take a look at the math! While the gas sign reads .10 cents cheaper if you buy that car wash, you now have a car wash to pay for actually making your total purchase cost more than if you just purchased the gas itself. The car was is usually just a soap and water basic deal, so if you need one it could be a good idea to bundle them, otherwise just hit that big red NO button.
4. There's an app for that! Gasbuddy is a great smartphone app that will use your location in order to pinpoint the cheapest gas station near you. If you are filling up it could be worth it to drive that extra couple of miles to save .5cents on your total purchase (but keep in mind driving out of the way tends to negate the savings). The app also has a handy tool that let's you report current gas prices. Each report you make enters you into a drawing to win a $250 gas gift card! If you don't have a smart phone, you can report prices from your home computer @ www.gasbuddy.com
5. Use your gps/smart phone to find shorter routes for you. Many will let you input multiple destinations so you can find the shortest routes between all your errands saving you time and gas!
6. Empty out your car! The heavier your vehicle, the more gas it will use. If you aren't needing all that beach gear, roller blades, folding chairs, etc … lighten up your load and thus help lighten that burden on your wallet!
Following some or all of these hints won't make you rich, but it never hurts to shave of a few dollars here and there. It can really add up in the end!

The Tea Cup {or should I say, Mug, hehehe}
Today, I am featuring not a vintage tea cup, it's more on the convenient yet classy side. I say convenient as I can easily steep the tea on the cup using the stainless steel infuser that came with it. A nice lid covers the tea liquor as it steeps to keep it warm. The flowers and the butterflies are so pretty, it's a constant reminder of spring... Then, it goes in the ever dependable dishwasher. Wohoo!
In a lovely circle of gratefulness...
Hubby works in the claims department of a certain auto and home insurance company. With the tremendous amount of snow we received in the last winter here in eastern Canada, you might guess how terribly busy he and his coworkers were. Their manager had been very supportive to them. So hubby initiated a gift basket for her. Everyone chipped-in, they put it together, had a brief inspiring speech... Touched by their appreciation, she cried...
A few weeks later (busy, busy...) Hubby came home with this delicious, homemade oatmeal-choco-balls. It came with a card ~ a thank you for the "thank you" gift their manager had received earlier. Ever loving hubby brought it home to his 'beautiful wife' (me, hehe) to enjoy together.
It's such a great feeling to be valued, right?
May we always value others first.
Gratefulness is one of the secrets to have contentment in our lives. Please read about the other secrets here. See you next week for another Tea Time chat.
Sincerely, Maya

The move comes in the wake of the release of "The Freeh Report," which investigated the events at Pennsylvania State University that allowed former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky to victimize numerous children over the years. Mr. Sandusky was found guilty last month on 45 counts related to child abuse.
The report slams senior administrators, including head football coach Joe Paterno, for exhibiting what a press release issued by Louis Freeh called a "total disregard for the safety and welfare of Sandusky's child victims. . . . The most powerful men at Penn State failed to take any steps for 14 years to protect the children who Sandusky victimized. [The men], through actions or words, any concern for the safety and well-being of Sandusky's victims until after Sandusky's arrest."
Mark Parker, president-CEO of Nike -- and, according to The Oregonian, a Penn State graduate -- that the report prompted him to change the name of the Joe Paterno Child Development Center.

It seems like the sun is coming back out again after a week of cyclonic weather (again!). I've had it up to here with the humidity and rain; wouldn't say no to some scorching sunshine right now. For things to return to 'normal' this summer.
And speaking of normal, many of us feared Sunday would no longer be the same, after the official demise of Six Sentence Sunday last week. But thankfully, a group of SSS refugees have gotten together on Facebook and we are upholding our addiction and giving you readers more sneak peeks of our stories, as we've been used to doing so far!
My contribution this week comes once again from my upcoming 1NightStand, which releases... on February 5 (yay! This Tuesday!!!) from Decadent Publishing. This one also kicks off my (insane-looking... *feels soooo good to say this, lol*) release sked for 2013, with no less than 6 books in the queue. 4 from Decadent, 2 indie with my bestie.
Anyhow, back to this week's six! Remember, Leila has landed in Mauritius against her will, when the man who saved her from an abusive marriage left her in the care of his stepmother and left.
Throughout her life, this poor girl has never felt like she belonged...
Here's another glimpse into her psyche.
No official SSS list this week, but some people taking part are Karysa Faire, Gem Sivad, Taryn Kincaid, Debra Soles, Heather Boyd, Chip Etier, Ryan Derham, Dani-Lyn Alexander, Sarah Ballance, Karen Michelle Nutt, & JoAnne Kenrick. There might/will be others, but these are the links I have till now when I'm posting this excerpt. You can find them all at this link on the FB group.
Check the comments' list on the post here later - you might get links to others who are posting and then troll off from there. *grin*
Hope you're having a lovely weekend, peeps!
From Mauritius with love,

In-Depth Guide On X-Sabers: An Unexpected Threat! (January, 2016)
In-Depth Guide On X-Sabers: An Unexpected Threat! (January, 2016)
Equivalence's X-Saber Report! (Report #1)
1.) Deck Analysis
2.) Main Deck Monsters
3.) Extra Deck Monsters
4.) Spell Cards
5.) Trap Cards
6.) Combos
7.) Techs
8.) Builds
9.) Sample Decklists
10.) Conclusion
- Deck Analysis:
- The deck's main objective in terms of winning is to pull off the XX-Saber Gottoms hand shave, making your opponent discard most (if not all) of the cards in their hand, while you get 1-3 XX-Saber Darksoul searches during the end phase, depending on how many was sent there this turn. If you've gathered your resources properly before Summoning Gottoms, you should get atleast 2.
However, with cards such as Gottoms' Emergency Call, XX-Saber Faultroll and Constellar Ptolemy M7, the deck can quite easily OTK as well.
One of the main reasons why the deck is looked down upon as being outdated and bad is due to the fact that it has to set up with Darksouls and Emmersblades to get their plays going, which is true. But I mean, you just simply gotta play backrow such as Vanity's Emptiness, Solemn Warning, Quaking Mirror Force, Oasis of Dragon Souls and Call of the Haunted to slow your opponent down for when the time comes for you to start making plays. Don't play too much backrow, though, I cannot emphasize that enough! Keep traps that are responsive to summons, attacks, and monster effects (except Oasis and Call) at 4-5 at most, otherwise you'll only see dead traps and not any monsters (keep in mind that Gottom' Emergency Call should be played at 3 as well).
Another thing I have noticed about the deck is that if I don't get to my Darksouls or Emmersblades within the first 3 turns I'm kinda screwed, which is why you wanna go second when playing X-Sabers, to get that one extra card. I also recommend you play 3 Pot of Duality, possibly 3 Upstart Goblin as well. Sure, I might have a Boggart Knight + Tuner play ready and get out Souza or Hyunlei, but as soon as that's gone I'm done for.
Seeing as how crucial your Darksouls and Emmersblades are, those are the ones you really, really wanna see early on, even late as well. Otherwise you'll generate cloggy hands that won't make you last for very long.
- Main Deck Monsters:
Best Monsters:
XX-Saber Darksoul
Although it may look like a rather decent or okay card, it actually is the most important card in the main deck. Not the best, but the most important one. Because it's how you gain card advantages early on when you aren't able to swarm with Gottoms' Emergency Call or XX-Saber Faultroll. And not only that, it also helps you to keep your card advantages during the late game. As well as sets up your plays, making you able to search the combo pieces you need. Slow, yes, but not as bad as you'd think. Mandatory to run 3.
XX-Saber Emmersblade
You may also think this card is kinda "meh", however it (like Darksoul) is mandatory for setting up plays and generating consistency. Some people will say it's bad, but take it from an X-Saber veteran: You need it! Also, don't forget to be aggressive with it. Recommended to run 3.
XX-Saber Boggart Knight
This monster along with XX-Saber Faultroll is your main playmaker. Instantly makes Faultroll live, as well as provides easy access to rank 4s, level 7 Synchros and level 6 Synchros. Main downside is that he only can be used to Synchro Summon an X-Saber Synchro monster, but that's really his only downside. Always run at 3.
XX-Saber Faultroll
This card is the primary reason Darksoul is so good; because your only way of searching Faultroll is with Darksoul. This card is always so live with your Boggart Knights and Emmersblades. You can easily OTK if you use it correctly. It makes level 9 Synchros, level 8 Synchros and rank 6 Xyzs, usually Constellar Ptolemy M7, since it can recycle your Faultrolls. It is possible for Faultroll too clog, however, it shouldn't happen too often if you build correctly. I'd recommend running 3, but 2 is also possible.
XX-Saber Fulhelmknight
This card is only really here as a level 3 X-Saber Tuner. Although, the effect of it negating attacks has saved me countless times, but I hardly ever use its' other effect. It makes your level 9s, 5s and 6s. And because it's the best level 3 X-Saber Tuner, it's needed at 2-3. I personally run 2.
X-Saber Pashuul
Like Fulhelmknight, Pashuuls' main job is to just be there as a Tuner. It makes your level 8s, 6s and 5s. And also, like Fulhelmknight, Pashuuls' effect has saved me countless times. Always run 2.
Okay Monsters:
X-Saber Airbellum
This card is definitely an option if you don't wanna play Fulhelmknight. If you're willing to sacrifice a good effect for power, then you could try this card. But I personally never use it.
XX-Saber Ragigura
This card can be both amazing and terrible. Amazing because there's a combo you can do that discards your opponent's entire hand, but terrible because it can be such a deaddraw. I usually don't run it, but when I do, I only run 1.
X-Saber Palomuro
Palomuro is a really interesting Tuner, seeing as how he's the only level 1 X-Saber Tuner, which provides access to alot of Synchros from unusual angles. For example, he can make Wayne with Boggart Knight, Black Rose with Faultroll and Leo with Gottoms. He also has a pretty good effect, which (like most effects of X-Saber Tuners) can save your life. He's also searchable with King of the Feral Imps - a card I wouldn't recommend running, but Feral is easily made with 2 Boggart Knights. So try it out if you wish, I wouldn't do it, though. The main reason I lean away from this card is because of how much of a deadraw it can be. You can run it, but don't run more than 1.
XX-Saber Garsem
Personally, I hate this card. However, if you kill it with Scrap Dragon's effect or use it against a deck that destroys alot with card effects, it's definitely viable. You can also bluff it as an Emmersblade, then your opponent might waste time trying to kill what they think is an Emmersblade by any means except battle, only to realise it was something completely different that actually makes you go plus from it. But like I said, I would never use it. Period. Still in the "Okay Monsters" section, though, but that's because I have to view it from a non-biased perspective.
XX-Saber Gardestrike
Like Garsem, Gardestrike is a card I also strongly dislike. But I can still see the uses it can have. For example, if you're out of Boggart Knights and need to make a play to get Faultroll out; Gardestrike could get the job done! But you never really run out of Boggart Knights, so Gardestrike isn't really worth running. I'd still rate it as okay, though.
Terrible Monsters:
X-Saber Anu Piranha
It sucks. Don't use it.
X-Saber Axel
It sucks. Don't use it.
X-Saber Galahad
It sucks. Don't use it.
X-Saber Uruz
It sucks. Don't use it.
- Extra Deck Monsters:
Best Extra Deck Monsters:
XX-Saber Hyunlei
Hyunlei is easily made with Darksoul + Fulhelmknight, as well as with Boggart Knight + Pashuul. It can also be Xyz'd with Faultroll into Constellar Ptolemy M7, or Synchro'd again with Fulhelmknight to Summon Gottoms. This card is so incredible this format, since it can just wipe out the Pendulums in the Pendulum Zones and clear the backrow for when you wanna make a play. Really solid, a staple. Run 1-2.
X-Saber Souza
Souza is kind of the Jar Jar Binks of X-Sabers - you don't really wanna use him because his effect isn't the best, but you're force to use him since Boggart Knight can only be used to Synchro Summon X-Saber monsters. He does have his uses, though. There have been times where I've passively used him to get past Traps or get rid of annoying monster. Always run 1.
XX-Saber Gottoms
Gottoms is easily made with Faultroll/Hyunlei and Fulhelmknight. If used properly he can singlehandely win you games, because of how much he can make your opponent go minus. Short and sweet description. Always run 1.
Okay Extra Deck Monsters:
X-Saber Wayne
Can be made with Darksoul and Pashuul, and his effect can be used to further expand your plays. I, however, don't run it in most of my builds. Simply because I can't find the space and because I find there are many other, better ways you can make plays. Run 0-1.
M-X-Saber Invoker
It's easily made with Darksouls, Emmersblades and Fulhelmknights, however, you mostly just wanna use them to Synchro Summon, but there are times when Invoker really helps. All he does is Summon Boggart Knight from the deck, which may give access to some plays. He isn't the greatest, but I would recommend you to play atleast 1 in all X-Saber decks.
Terrible Extra Deck Monsters:
X-Saber Urbellum
It sucks. Don't use it.
- Spells:
- Best Spells:
When you take damage while you control an "X-Saber" monster: Gain LP equal to the amount of damage you took, also inflict an equal amount of damage to your opponent, then you can add 1 "Saber" Spell/Trap Card or 1 "Gottoms" card from your Deck to your hand. You can only activate 1 "Saber Reflection" per turn.
Saber Reflect
It really pisses me off that they haven't released it in the TCG yet. Either way, in the OCG, it's really good. Works extremely well with Pashuul's "Drawback effect" or Palomuro if you're using him. It also works very well for when you're aggressive with your Emmersblades. Also, it's the only card that can search out the deck's best card - Gottoms' Emergency Call. Did I mention it can search itself? As a TCG player I unfortunately can't play it, but if you're playing in the OCG I'd recommend running 3.
Okay Spells:
Saber Slash
To be honest, Saber Slash is slightly more on the bad side, however, I think it still has its uses. Like, in the current meta with PePe and Kozmo running around, I personally think it sucks. But as a card alone, ignoring the current format, it definitely has some potential. Overall, I don't ever use it, but if Pendulums and Kozmos ever stop getting played you can definitely try Saber Slash out. 0 now. 0-3 if the meta shifts away from Pendulums and Kozmos.
Gottoms' Second Call
This card is basically like Gottoms' Emergency Call, but worse. It can be useful if you wanna make a play and don't have Gottoms' Emergency Call, but it's just too inconsistent and risky in my opinion. But you can definitely use it. Run 0-2.
Terrible Spells:
Saber Vault
It sucks. Don't use it.
Sword of Sparkles
It sucks. Don't use it.
- Traps:
Best Traps:
Gottoms' Emergency Call
Although I'd say Faultroll is the best monster in the deck, as a stand-alone card, Gottoms' Emergency Call is easily the best. It helps you swarm and OTK or Summon monsters for Gottoms to tribute, making your opponent discard their hand. It just does everything you want it to do. Oh, and by the way, don't listen to the people who only play 2 and says it clogs. They're just bad at X-Sabers. Trust me. Always run 3.
Okay Traps:
Saber Hole
This card is actually pretty good. However, the reason I'm only putting it as an "okay monster" is due to the fact that I just haven't had good experience with this card. Like, in theory, it's really good. But when I use it, it always seems to lead to a dead hand. This is one of the cards I'm not really discouraging nor encouraging you to pick; just use it if you wish. Run 0-3.
Terrible Traps:
At One With The Sword
It sucks. Don't use it.
- Combos:
Combo #1: For this you'll need to have Gottoms' E Call set (that can be activated), XX-Saber Emmersblade on your side of the field and 2 in your deck, and a monster on your opponents side of the field with 1400 or more attack.
Firstly, you ram the Emmersblade into their monster. Emmersblade dies and its effect activates. Summon another one from your deck, repeat the process until you have 1 Emmersblade on the field and 2 in the Graveyard. Now you activate Gottoms' Emergency Call and Summon the 2 Emmersblades in your Graveyard to the field. Now you have 3 Emmersblades on your side of the field. Ram one of them and Summon Darksoul from the deck. Then ram a second one and Summon another Darksoul. Then ram the 3rd one and Summon XX-Saber Fulhelmknight. Finally, you Synchro Summon XX-saber Gottoms' and boom! You turned your 1300 atk Emmersblade into a 3100 attack Gottoms, not to mention you get 2 Darksoul searches during the end phase!
Combo #2: For this combo you'll need Constellar Ptolemy M7 on the field, XX-Saber Faultroll as M7's Xyz material or in the Graveyard, and 2 other X-Saber monsters on your side of the field. Use M7's effect, detatch Faultroll and add it back to the hand, resummon it and use its effect again. You'll most likely OTK here. It seems like you'd rarely succeed in doing this, but keep in mind that you'll be able to use Faultrolls' effect before you use it along with Hyunlei to Summon M7. Not to mention how easy it is with your run-of-the-mill Boggart-X-Saber monster-Faultroll play. And don't even get me started on Gottoms' Emergency Call.
Combo #3: This combo is very simple. All you need is a Fulhelmknight on the field or in your hand, Book of Moon on the field or in your hand, Faultroll in your hand, an X-Saber monster in your Graveyard and a monster on your opponents side of the field with 1200 or less defense. Summon Fulhelmknight, declare an attack. Activate Book of Moon, set their monster. Destroy their monster with Fulhelmknights, then you can use its effect to summon a level 4 or lower X-Saber monster from your Graveyard. Go to main phase 2 and special summon Faultroll, use it's effect, and go off like crazy.

- Mythic Water Dragon
- Super-Nimble Mega Hamster
- Instant Fusion
- T.G Striker
- One For One
- Ayers Rock Sunrise
- Reinforce Truth
- Spell Striker
- Crane Crane
- Mythic Water Dragon
- Builds:
Psychic Sabers: This X-Saber build is significantly faster than any other, because it utilises Emergency Teleport, but it often generates dead hands. And it can be quite inconsistent. But it can easily get out a first turn Naturia Beast or Barkion, which can singlehandedly win you games.
Kuribandit Grave-Mill Sabers: This was without question the 100% best way to play X-Sabers back when Soul Charge was at 3. It made the Gottoms shave a breeze. However, with Soul Charge at 1 it's not nearly as good. It's a bit inconsistent in my opinion, and sometimes you forget that it is an X-Saber deck you're playing. And it's bit too luck-reliant for my liking. But the potential is definitely there!
Standard Sabers: My personal favorite. Standard X-Sabers usually consist of only X-Saber monsters, a few Spells to add consistency such as Tenki, RoTA and Duality. As well as a few Traps such as Oasis, Call, Quaking etc.

- Conclusion:
In conclusion, X-Sabers are one of the most fun and underrated decks out there. Has OTK and outgrinding potential, believe it or not. However, it does require alot of thinking and skill to play it properly. Keep that in mind. Other than that, get on DN and have some fun with it! Thank you so much for reading my first report - X-Sabers! I may post more in the future if this becomes well-received. Please leave feedback in the comments.

Man, it is great, helped me so much with my little take on the deck, I can't thank you enough Val.
Yet, no mention of Gottom's 2nd Call, I disagree with not even saying it exists. It is a great card in my opinion.
The 3 deck lists you provided helped me a lot... especially the standard one, though I like psy sabers a lot more than the other 2.
p.s. Garsem for number one X-S, you totally know it is the best
