In 1973, in a dark, damp and desolate concrete room in the basement of an Albanian prison --- a place where "grace and hope had never touched" and "even the dust in the air was heard shrieking" --- a man is interrogated and brutally tortured. After days of enduring sadistic pain, including having his "nails wrenched from their sockets," the man called the Prisoner remains silent, refusing even to identify himself. As the horror and interrogation intensify, so does the mystery. Is the Prisoner an assassin? A spy? A murderer? A priest? How can he be forced to talk?
It is only after the Prisoner's bloody and daring escape that Colonel Vlora, the investigator in charge of the notorious Albanian prison, discovers the identity of the man as Dimiter, an American "agent from hell." But what is his mission? Why has he come to the godless state of Albania?
After Dimiter flees prison, the scene shifts to war-torn Jerusalem in 1974. At Hadassah Hospital, neurologist Moses Mayo awakens in the middle of the night with a sense of dread and tries to recall a troubling dream. Mayo is haunted by recent events at the hospital: a bloody and brutal murder in the psychiatric ward; the death of a stroke patient who, before his passing, talked to apparitions who bore "witness"; reports of strange visitors by Samia, a brassy nurse; and inexplicable miraculous cures.
Also in Jerusalem, Police Detective Peter Meral, an Arab Christian and Dr. Mayo's longtime friend, is busy at work. Meral, a grief-stricken man who has lost his wife and only child, "seems to ache at the slightest parting." He is immersed in the investigations of a fiery explosion, a troubling CIA cover-up, a criminal found with a broken neck and a body discovered at the Tomb of Christ.
As the death count rises, the investigation and the mystery persist. Are the deaths related? If so, how? More so, why? Who is behind the murders --- and the miracles? Who will be the next to die?
DIMITER --- the man and the book --- is enigmatic, compelling and beguiling. Part mystery and part spiritual thriller, William Peter Blatty's novel is rich in detail and written with wisdom and grace. Through compelling narration, vivid scenes, revealing dialogue, police transcripts, interrogations, newspaper articles and epistles, Blatty has created an amazing tale. At the moment of epiphany, when the pieces of the puzzle fall into place, it is stunning how the characters, events and details relate.
Yet one detail at the story's beginning confounded me. I could not understand how the two-year-old brindle-eyed boy remained the same age a year later. Regardless of that niggling bit, DIMITER is a haunting novel that should be read twice --- once for the captivating and faith-affirming story, and a second time to savor the author's elegant writing and masterful craft.

An ordinance that would have allowed overnight anchoring in the city's only lake didn't float with the City Commission.
Tuesday night's public hearing on the proposed law drew nearly 60 people, most of whom were Lake Placid residents concerned that the ordinance would serve as an open invitation to groups looking for a place to party.
Their fears were quelled as a motion by Commissioner Leo Bentz to approve the law died for lack of a second.
"You know the old saying: 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it,' " Commissioner William Sullivan quipped. "I kind of hate to fool with a situation that seems to be working."
An existing ordinance, adopted in 1981, prohibits any vessel from anchoring between midnight and 8 a.m. in any canal or waterway in the city unless it is tied to a dock or moored at a licensed marina.
Members of the Hillsboro Beach Sailing Club asked the commission Feb. 25 for permission to hold a weekend raft-up for six to 20 boats. Although the commission did not object to the request, the city code banning all-night anchoring did not provide an exemption clause.
At that time, Commissioner J.E. "Ted" McLaughlin said he would support an amendment that would create a permitting process. He changed his mind Tuesday night.

I remember when I first met Josias. I was working in the bookstore at OCU. He walked in with a few other students, I helped them find their books and he was on his way, just like many before him and many after. A few weeks later, I was in the cafeteria having dinner with a friend and he walked up and sat next to us.
My friend introduced us and he smiled and said, "Hey, we're gonna be friends!"
"Um, nope. I don't befriend underclassmen," I said without hesitation.
"Well, I'm not like all the underclassmen," he replied.
I didn't respond. Instead, I kept eating and I left. When I got home that night, I pulled open Facebook and there was a friend request. It was Josias. I ignored it to the purgatory of other friend request I had no intention of accepting. About a week later, I ran into him again. He was having trouble opening his mailbox as was 98% of campus. As I went to retrieve the mail from his box, he mentioned the friend request.
"I sent you a friend request," he said.
"I know," I said.
"Well aren't you gonna accept it, we're friends now," he said.
"So you say, how am I gonna look if you're the only underclassmen on my list," I laughed.
We talked for a bit as I got his mail and showed him the trick to opening the mailbox and before we parted way, he asked,
"So when are you gonna accept my request?"
"When you're not an underclassmen anymore," I said over my shoulder, walking back to my office.
I'd see Josias from time to time and we'd have our little conversations and over the course of that time, I'd come to know a genuinely cool person. And while I'd yet to add his friend request, I'd see his post from time to time and I realized how incredible of a person he was.
He was kind and caring and he invested in the lives of the people around him like no one else. He gave without exception and loved endearingly. He will most certainly be missed. The day he died, 3 years ago today–it was heartbreaking–for all of us. I went home that night and I accepted Josias' friend request. In the days that followed I made a vow–one I still live by to this day–to live like Christ–to live like Josias.

A few days ago I have encountered a very nice tool that is called "Team For Word"
Until now I have worked with the "Team Spec" that cost a license compares to this tool that is totally free and with an open source.
In the past few days I have worked a lot with the "Team For Word" on clients sites, we have tried to see if this tool can replace the "Team Spec" and the answer is not simple.
This tool has some abilities that"Team Spec" doesn't have like presenting all the work items from a query with links and attachments, or gives you the ability to show an attachment from a work item, but it lacks the ability to get word texts and convert it to work items or it can't get a balk of work items from TFS to word.
The list of abilities are:
- Connection to TFS 2008 (2010).
- Adding one or more property of an item of work in the Word document.
- Notification of the changed items in the document.
- Notification of items changed on the TFS server.
- Publication of all or part of the modification made in the document.
- To update the document with changes from the server.
- Pre-defined in TFS query execution.
- Modification of the TFS server or project in the document properties.
- Creating a work item.
- Create formatting model.
- Inserting template formatting.
- Editing a block of data by the content of another element of travail
- Opening a WI from the action panel
- Management of the iteration and area
- Improved management of differences between the document and TFS
- Adding synchronization boxes identical document
Note: The tool is in French so some of the words will not look familiar, I must say that I have zero knowledge in French and it didn't bother me at all.
You can download the tool from here.
You can see a video on the tool here.
Here is a short Guide:
Note: You will need to use the word template that comes with the installation in order to use the tool
Step 1: Open the word from the template
Step 2: Connect to the server by clicking the "Connection" button
Step 3: The "Team For Word" will get all the work items from the project, you can now choose to see only work items from a query, you can update you query list with "Team Explorer" or Visual Studio and it will be shown here.
Note: The tool can only show "Flat Queries" and all the work items will be grouped by the Work Item Type.
You can now open explore the work items, you will be able to see that all the fields are sorted to a few folders, you can see the links and attachments too.
The word "Autre" in French is "Other" in English (Checked in the dictionary)
Step 4: You will need to add a new block using a Template you have created or the default one that was set for you by clicking "Insert a Block Template".
In order to create a template you will need to do the following:
- Double click fields in order to show them in word
- Order them as you wish, I will recommend to create a Table for it
- Mark the Table for example and click "Add Template"
- Name your template
- Save it
Step 5: Mark the block you have just created
Step 6: Choose the work item you will like to insert, and click "Apply the WorkItem"
The work item will fill the block
You can also create new work Items by doing the following:
Step 1: Choose the Work Item Type to create from the dropdown list
Step 2: Click "Create of a workitem"
Step 3: Fill all the fields in the work item form especially the required fields
Step 4: Click the "Valider" button in order to save
The new work item will be sent to the server
Finding a Work Item:
Step 1: Click on the "Find a WI" tab
Step 2: Insert the work item ID
Step 3: Click "Search"
Update a Work Item From Word or To Word:
In order to update the work items from the server you will need to click on the "Refresh" button.
If changes where made you will see a list of them.
Right click a list item you will be able to do the following:
- Refresh – To see if the change is still valid
- Cancel – In case you have made a word Change that you don't like to publish or a TFS change you don't like to show in the document
- Update the document – In case it is a TFS change you like to show in the document
- Update the Workitem – In case it is a change you like to publish to TFS
- See the details – Will show you a comparison to see what was changed
In order to send changes to the TFS use the "Publish" button.

Didier Drogba set to join Chelsea coaching staff after retiring from professional football
DIDIER DROGBA has retired from professional football and will take a coaching role at Chelsea under Guus Hiddink, claim sensational reports.
According to French outlet L'Equipe, the Ivorian has ended his short spell with MLS outfit Montreal Impact after six months.
The Stamford Bridge icon, who scored 164 goals in 381 appearances, will reportedly return to the Premier League to work under Hiddink in west London.
Hiddink has spoken a number of times about his desire for Drogba to work with the players and may have got his wish.
He recently explained: "A few days ago before the Sunderland game I said that those rare kind of former players with this status would be very good for any club to have.
"Especially him because he's a Chelsea legend, but for the moment we have to respect his contract with Montreal.
Breaking | Didier Drogba has retired from professional football & will join Guus Hiddink's coaching staff at Chelsea, L'Équipe report.— Get French Football (@GFN_France) January 6, 2016
"It depends on the player himself, you need to give them time and opportunities to find out what the best is for them.
"It may be on the coaching staff or maybe as an ambassador, but that is too official and functional for me. They need to go into the squad and help players with their experience."
Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois agreed with Hiddink's sentiments and admitted he would love the 37-year-old to return.
He said: "I had a very good relationship with Drogba last year. He was great for the dressing room and our team.
"If he comes back as a coach it will be a great addition to all the team."
More to follow.

On October 5, 2017 Civil Air Patrol will become a part of history when East Whiteland Township, RICOH USA Inc., and the Tredyffrin Eastown Historical Society will dedicate an historical marker honoring the significant legacy of the Main Line Airport. During the first year-and-a-half of World War II the Paoli squadron, Civil Air Patrol, used the Main Line Airport as a crucial logistics center while patrolling the mid-Atlantic coast against marauding German submarines and provided flight crews to Coastal Patrol squadrons as far away as Virginia. Lt. Col Kevin Berry and TSgt George Brizak will be guest speakers at the ceremony representing Civil Air Patrol.
Please come and participate in this historic event and become a part of Civil Air Patrol legacy on Thursday, October 5, 2017 at 2:00 pm at 70 Valley Stream Parkway, Malvern PA. To read more about history of Mail Line Airport please visit http://www.tehistory.org/mlapix.htm and read an article published in Daily Local News http://www.dailylocal.com/general-news/20170925/dinniman-to-recognize-history-of-main-line-airport
Taken in the summer of 1942, members of the Civil Air Patrol Paoli squadron stand ready to do their duty in protecting north-Atlantic coast against German U-boats. The squadron's Deputy Commander, Maj. Harvey "Buck" Berry, stands on the right.

From his Mar-a-Lago resort to his golf course in New Jersey to his home in New York City, President Trump has spent 19 weekends away from the White House since his inauguration. And each time there's a massive military effort to keep him safe from threats... including from above. What really happens if a rogue aircraft flies into presidential airspace and ignores warnings to leave? TODAY national investigative correspondent Jeff Rossen was given rare access to demonstrate how the Air National Guard protects the skies.

We have a serious crisis in this country. With many millions of South Africans affected by poverty and unemployment, many millions more are expected to be affected. With high food prices already knocking the pockets of every South African, we can expect astronomical prices in the coming years and a scarcity of basic food stuffs. "A scarcity in basic food stuffs? You must be joking!" That's what I'd say 10 years ago, but no longer. From an agricultural giant and leading world exporter, we have quickly found ourselves in the realm of net importer status. All because the ruling party got it wrong.
After our transition to democracy, the ANC decided that land redistribution was the way to go. And like planting seeds, they drew up their policies and passed a number of bills. These plans were meant to redistribute white farmers' land to black farmers and to communities which were previously the 'rightful owners'. Today, many years down the line, these seeds have grown to such an extent that a disaster looms for all. Let me illustrate the ruling party's end produce.
Decline in commercial farmers, skills lost in 1994 there were some 120 000 commercial farmers but today a mere 37 000 remain. Yes, many of the previously 120 000 commercial farmers were white and transformation needed to take place, but with a sum total of 37 000 commercial farmers today, how many successful, black, commercial farmers have we produced and how many successful, white, commercial farmers has our country lost?
Farming has become "SA's most dangerous job". The threat of being the next farm murder victim (almost 4 000 farmers since 1994) and the threat of land grabs have resulted in many successful, white, farmers packing their bags and heading for greener pastures. And many of these farmers have indeed found greener pastures abroad and in other African countries. Congo, Malawi, Uganda, Tanzania and Mozambique are some of the governments who have invited them to farm in their countries on land earmarked for farming.
Other countries such as Gabon, Guinea and Ghana are also in talks. The starving continent of Africa has a huge demand for agriculture, job creation and filling empty stomachs. What better place for these farmers to apply their knowledge and skills. Further up north, Georgia has invited this group of endangered species to attempt to revive their agricultural industry by providing land and equipment. Quoting the Georgian government spokesperson, "South African farmers are some of the best farmers in the world. They have good experience and we would like to see such farms in Georgia. There is a lot of potential here."
Regarding Georgian farmers who generally struggle to earn a decent living, "They want to set up joint ventures with South African farmers because they think they could raise the profitability and productivity of their farms," he said. "They are more than delighted to have South African farmers and South African expertise on their farms."
Meanwhile our government has opposing, often moronic, views to the rest of Africa. The Agriculture Minister, Tina Joemat-Pettersson, last week said the following regarding the departure of commercial farmers from South Africa, "This will not be a threat to food security in South Africa; instead, this will enhance food security in the continent." This a real irony considering that other countries are trying to do the same thing but by attracting our farmers to their farm lands. It gets more idiotic when she says, "South Africa has skills it can share with other South Africans and with the rest of the continent."
To an educated mind it would appear that skills are departing with the departing farmers and these skills are to be applied in other African countries indefinitely. Back at home, along with the loss of these farmers and their skills and experience, the former workers of these farms have lost their jobs. From around 1.6 million tax-paying farm workers (mainly black) which were employed in 1994, to around 300 000 in just 16 years.
I challenge anyone to provide me with intelligent reasons on how losing 83 000 commercial farmers and losing over a million jobs are to the advantage of our country and our people.
Demise of profitable, food producing farms According to the ANC itself last year, 90% of redistributed farms do not produce excess food. Farms which once produced hundreds of thousands of tons of produce and employed hundreds of workers now lie idle and are a mere shell of what they used to be. The remaining few black farmers are but a handful and use the land for subsistence farming.
Mismanagement, corruption and the lack of sufficient skills and experience has had catastrophic effects on many farms. To mention one of a thousand examples of farms which are now liquidated/idle/non-producing:
- The Zebediela Citrus Estate (Limpopo) – Once described in the Readers' Digest, "400 million oranges are harvested each year from the groves of Zebediela, the world's biggest citrus estate. The output is sufficient to provide one orange for every eight people on earth." This magnificent farm went from riches to ruins in just a few years after being taken over by the state.
Yet the talk/threat of land grabs/redistribution continues.
To avoid looking like a second Zimbabwe and forcibly removing white farmers off their land, the government has now come up with cunning plan to grab land without having to remove the white farmers by force. This plan is called the "Land Tenure Security Bill". If signed off by the ANC government it will amongst other things, give farm workers the right to keep livestock on the farms where they work, which will be allowed to graze "indiscriminately" on the property.
The bill will also give workers the right to plant their own crops and build homes for themselves and close relatives, from which they may never be removed. Andy Tladi, a black sunflower farmer, says he is leaving to the DRC this year as the bill "gives farm workers a 'blank cheque' to do whatever they want to do on land that doesn't belong to them. The bill is going to worsen the situation for farmers. You are actually going to see workers putting up villages on farms. If you allow 10 people to build houses on a farm, in about 20 years you could have up to 30 families. So how does the farmer continue to grow and invest under those circumstances? I am a black farmer and I won't be able to handle that. A lot of farmers will fly out of the country."
The high likelihood of failure for black farmers is a reality. Without the necessary skills and experience, even a successful farm which has been acquired through redistribution most often fails. Then when a rare success does happen, more often than not, there is a lack of backing from government which leads to failure or inability to grow. Steven Mohale, a leading black, tomato farmer in Limpopo, has been battling for years to get government assistance in order to grow his business. But it seems the only help he received was from private banks and white farmers.
To quote an article about Steven in Farmers Weekly, "I'm very disappointed in the way the government treats farmers. It's high time government stopped insulting farmers. We spend a lot of time with white farmers in this area and almost all are very helpful. People who accuse farmers of bad things are talking nonsense. South Africans need to realise the sector is responsible for feeding the nation and creating employment – and so farmers deserve respect. But government's attitude doesn't help."
In conclusion, it is clearly obvious to someone with a little bit of intelligence that we are heading for disaster. In fact we are already looking at a disaster if you look at how the majority has suffered in the last decade or so in terms of poverty, unemployment and starvation. Billions of taxpayers' rands have been pumped into redistribution projects and this money has literally been flushed down the toilet, not to mention the millions stolen by corrupt, ANC linked officials. Now billions more has to be spent of which another 90% will be wasted. With calls for 100% nationalisation by Julius Malema, we could be in for even more serious trouble. At this moment I do not see much hope for agriculture in our country and in turn not much hope for the economy and our people.

It's never too early to begin preparing for your retirement and one of the best ways to prepare is to set up an Individual Retirement Account (often referred to as an IRA).
The purpose of an IRA is to serve as a personal tax-qualified retirement savings plan. Anyone who works, whether as an employee or self-employed, can set aside a set amount in an IRA, with the earnings on these investments tax-deferred until the date of distribution. In addition, certain individuals are permitted to deduct all or part of their contributions to the IRA. Plus, as of 1998, certain individuals can also set up Roth IRAs, to which contributions are not deductible, but from which withdrawals at retirement won't be taxed.
It doesn't take much to set up an IRA. The trustee (or custodian) can be a bank, mutual fund, brokerage house or other financial institution. You cannot be your own trustee. An IRA can be established and a contribution made after year-end, no later than the due date for filing the income tax return for that year, not including extensions. This generally means that you have until April 15th of the following year to make the contribution and deduct it on your tax return.
The most you can contribute to an IRA in any single year (as of 2006) is the smaller of $4,000 or an amount equal to the compensation includible in income for the year. Those 50 years old and above will also be allowed to make additional $1,000 catch-up contributions to an IRA each year to help them save more for retirement.
The same limit applies even if you have more than one IRA, or more than one type of IRA. When both you and your spouse have compensation, you can each contribute the maximum, which means $8,000 total ($10,000 if you are both 50 or over). In 2008, IRA contribution limits will be raised to $5,000, while the catch up contribution for those 50 years old and above will remain at $1,000.
You do not have to contribute the full amount allowed every year. You may skip a year or even several years. You may resume making contributions in any subsequent year, but you cannot add additional funds to make up for those years when no contribution was made.
Contributions must be from compensation. This can be from wages, salaries, commissions and other sources of earned income. Contributions do not include such things as deferred compensations, retirement payments, or portfolio income from interest or dividends.
You can contribute more than the allowable amount, however, a 6 percent excise tax penalty will be assessed.
No contributions may be made to an inherited IRA, in a form other than cash, or during or after the year in which the individual reaches age 70.5.
You must begin taking distributions from an IRA no later than April 1st of the year following the year in which you reach age 70.5, or the year in which you retire, whichever is later.
This is a quick and general overview of IRAs. The rules are slightly different for Roth IRAs, which have their own contribution and distribution limitations. Before setting up an IRA, take the time to talk to your banker, accountant, or financial advisor to make sure you have a firm grasp on your options and set up the IRA which best serves your personal needs.
You can learn more about IRAs online from the Internal Revenue Service here: http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc451.html

Frankly, I can't be bothered to shed many tears for George Zimmerman. While apparently having two black eyes, a fractured nose, and an injured back in the scuffle with Trayon Martin, there is a little fact some people seem to be overlooked: George Zimmerman murdered Trayvon Martin.
No one wants to remember how, because Travyon was a black kid in a nice neighborhood, wearing a hoodie, Zimmerman stalked him against the orders of 911 operators and killed him.
How he did it doesn't matter. Did Trayvon eventually confront Zimmerman, causing a scuffle? It's possible. But when you're being followed by a man at night, while you're doing nothing wrong, it stands to reason you'd want to find out why. We don't know exactly what happened on that tragic night, except that two men entered, but only one left alive.
George Zimmerman deserves no sympathy. He wasn't the product of a broken system. He exploited the system for his own prejudiced gains, to enable him to become a vigilante who hunts down the innocent of society.
Let's mourn Travyon and the countless others killed by a racist law enforcement system, not some murderer who had a few scrapes on his face.

The Lien Solutions Blog is now available at Lien Forward Blog on the Lien Solutions website.
Learn about UCC-1s, their function, how they can protect you, and how to manage your UCC1 Filings.
As a businessperson, your specialty is building and running a business, or developing a unique product or service and refining it so that it meets the needs of your customers and stands apart in the marketplace. However, there may be times when your customers may need to finance their purchase from you or want to enter into a lease agreement with you. Now you've also become a lender, something that may not be familiar to you.
As a result, you may have questions regarding risk mitigation and asset protection, two important things you may have not had to consider before. Here are a few of the more common questions you're likely to come across.
I keep seeing the term UCC. What does it stand for?
UCC stands for Uniform Commercial Code. The UCC is a set of laws concerning commercial transactions, such as the sale of goods. It also covers secured transactions, where a lender gains the right to foreclose on a borrower's collateral should the borrow default on the loan. This is also called a security interest. Finally, the UCC governs negotiable instruments. Negotiable instruments are a specialized type of document guaranteeing payment by a set date or on demand. A check or a banknote are good examples of a negotiable instrument. .....

2 hour hike to and fro. Ran down a cliff into ice cold water. Jumped off a cliff into ice cold water. Banged myself up pretty badly. Basketball after everything.
I have never ached like this before, my butt and thighs are cramping up at the slightest provocation.
But it's fun. It makes you feel alive.
I wanna do it again! And again! And again!

What used to be better in the past...
Movies used to be so much more meaningful without special effects. But maybe I'm biased because those were the movies I grew up with. Movies nowadays don't need good acting or a great plot, all they need is action, sex and a whole lot of CGI.
But let's reminisce about the movies and cartoons in the 90s. Gone are the days of super long opening credits (think 101 dalmations & fox and the hound) and pretty drawings.
My fave cartoon shows
Sonic Underground
The Addams Family
Gummi Bears
Dexter's Laboratory
The Little Mermaid
Darkwing Duck
Sabrina the Teenage Witch
The Chipmunks
Courage the Cowardly Dog
The Mask
Pinky and the Brain
Wild Thornberries
... Can't think of anymore but those I listed were cartoons I loved when I was younger.
Fave shows
Are You Afraid of the Dark?
Kenan & Kel
Boy Meets World
Lizzie McGuire
... I wasn't a big fan of shows, and I usually watched Animal Planet and NatGeo, I know, what a nerd.
I am a BIG movie geek. If I were to start listing movies, I would never be able to stop. So, let's not start.
Cartoon Movies
The Little Mermaid
The Swan Princess
Mulan - Yay, AZN pride.
The Lion King
Fox and the Hound
Any old movies/cartoons/animated movies you'd like to share? Comment link down below! ;)

KL - Day 4, 5, 6, 7, 8!
Day 3
Watched Kung Fu Panda with wifey! Omg I miss you so much, it was good to see you again!! :D
Day 4
Woke up fucking early today because I had to go to Cyberjaya to get my graduation robes, invitations and for a rehearsal. Had breakfast at Subway in Sunway Pyramid before heading off on a RM45 cab ride to Cyberjaya. Limkokwing looks pretty damn impressive.. But if you thought that they would be a bigger more efficient of Limkokwing Borneo, you're WRONG. - -
Took my robes after 15 mins of confusion, got my tickets after squeezing in the "queues" which are actually just mobs of people for about an hour and a half, we went in for our rehearsal which is actually a demo. They cared more about the degree and master holders cos they have mortarboards. BOOOOOOOOOOO!
Got a free ride to Sunway, thanks! And then spent time with hubbei at Sunway and read books lol! After that hubbei gave me Anna Sui perfume and we dinnered at TGI Fridays! Wow at the price. FML.
Source: Google Images
Walked all the way from Sunway Pyramid to Suria Mas and it really freaked the both of us out. It was my idea to walk back because I thought it was an opportune time to paktoh. Zzz.. Especially on the overhead bridge, we kept feeling like someone was following us and at the end I shouted at hubbei to STOP LOOKING BACK!
Day 5
Woke up at about 10am thanks to laopo TT^TT and took a taxi to The Curve.
Met up with my brother for Marche (OMFG OMFG LOVE THE ROSTI) and then went shopping at Curve and Ikea (MEATBAAAAAAALLS!) and had Tutti Frutti (OMFG RM18 yoghurt DAI!) until my bro came and picked us up for dinner at a pasar malam where we had nasi lemak (OMG YUM) and THEN! Watched the FINAL installment of Harry Potter with laopo, bro, Roxy and hubbei. Kinda sad and nostalgic. I'll be sure to force hubbei to rewatch Harry Potter from 1 - 7 with me. :D But be sure to watch the trailer below if you HAVEN'T watched Harry (FML I typed Happy, this is what happens when you blog after drinking) Potter.
Went back home and then talked with laopo till quiet late. Will miss talking to you! TT^TT
Day 6
Picked up mom at the airport. The AIRPORT! From Sunway Pyramid to the airport. LOLs. Sorry and thanks to laopo who brought us our luggage cos we got lost trying to find the carpark in Pyramid. Goddamn KL, why is everything so complicated and big?! If you wanna be complicated, can't you be more like Singapore and have lots and lotsa signs?!
Anyway, after we picked up mom, we went to iHotel and checked in. After that we went to dinner at a random restaurant and then walked around Midvalley for a bit before we picked up dad from KL Central. I tell you that man can be left at Spring and get lost! xD Daddy, if you're reading this, I mean it in the best way possible. :3 After we picked up daddy we went to eat (again) at a coffeeshop where my bro says is the best nasi lemak. Too bad they ran out of coconut milk rice. :( But we had a good time sittin there and chattin.
Day 7
It is THE day! I'm finally graduating! Hubbei set the goddamn alarm at 5am and I almost died as I climbed out of the bed. Bro picked me up and sent me to Limkokwing. Here's an example of their incompetence: They asked us to be there before 7am because anyone who reaches campus later than 7am will not be able to graduate. We reached before 7am, and at 7am, the registry counter wasn't even open. What a joke of a threat! There were even graduates who arrived just before 10am and they still got to register!
We spent some time camwhoring and camwhoring and more camwhoring as we waited for our names to be called. We were the last ones to be called, mass comm from Borneo. Wheeppie~ After we went into the Hall of Fame, we were seated while we waited impatiently for our names to be called.
Finally, my name is called and I stand on the stage, confident as ever and letting the camera men take my picture. I would have liked to say something happened, me falling off the stage, getting a standing ovation - anything - but no. It was just 7 seconds of forgettable fame. Just as soon as I got up on stage, I was forgotten. Except of course, by my family, who bought me 3 bouquets of flowers with pink teddy bears. OMG the love! Everyone knows I love pink! It's my personal theory that anyone who doesn't love you doesn't know your favorite color. My eldest bro's green (which, they say is a sign of intelligence), my 2nd bro blue (which is a sign of compassion and peace), and hubbei a mixture of black, white, yellow and sky blue (probably a sign of mental disfunctionality or just a general case of confusion xD). Now you know their secrets. Anyway!
We went off to take graduation pictures (kinda disappointed cos I don't have a mortarboard to throw and wipe in other people's faces) but my grandma looks proud enough and everyone else looks happy enough so to hell with it. :D
After that I went home to bathe because HOURS (from 6 till 3) waiting to graduate is exhausting and all I wanted was a hot shower... Went shopping at Midvalley again after my shower. Finally got the complete set of Hunger Games (supa love!) and then had dinner at this Taiwanese shop at Pavilion (forgot the name) just opposite Moo Cow (yogurt ice cream parlor, dunno if I got the name right but oh whatever). The ice cream is great tho. If you're a girl, you can try prancing past and see if they give you a free sample.
They don't usually give boys samples which is why my brother despises them because he walked back and forth a few times and they didn't give him a sample!
Day 8
Finally the 17th, tomorrow will be my last day in KL! Daddy went home pretty early in the morning and we all woke up and got ready at about 11am before we went looking for mom. Had a nice brunch (lunch actually) and then bro sent mom off while hubbei and I stayed back in Midvalley and try to buy some things. Ahaha.. At last all we did was wander around and had Moo Cow yogurt ice cream. I'm seriously gonna miss that ice cream and anyone who tries to tell me Tutti Frutti is better will earn a piece of my knuckle.
After that we went back to Tropical Guest House - I totally recommend this place because it's awesome! It's pretty unique and very clean. Not to mention they have really cute hamsters. Ahahaha.. And check out the chick below who posed naked in our room. LOLs.
We walked from Sungei Wang to Lowyat to Times Square and then to this awesome coffee shop which serves salted egg chicken wings.
Then cabbed back to Times Square till we were tired to the point of a breakdown and walked back to the guest house.
I read till I finished the book 'Will you be there?' which is really well written, well thought out (cept I would've been able to save both Ilena and Angie, which I will talk about in my review next time) and ALMOST brought me to tears. If you want books to make you cry, Mitch Albom has never failed me.
Source: Google Images
Day 9
The final day! My bro and Roxy came over quite early to help us pack and send us to Pavilion where we had our final Nando's meal.
Shopped at Forever 21 for a bit and then at Sungei Wang where I spent every last bit of my money and then hit Times Square before heading to KL Sentral.
Finally reached Kch at 10pm and rushed to D'Rangers for a drink. I'm so sober now it's not even funny. 8 days without a drink is a pretty long time if you ask me. So until next time. Ta-ta.
Goodnight, kitties.

KL - Day 3
I killed a baby cockroach. Don't make me go into details. I will NOT entertain anyone. It's such a scary filthy little thing, why the f does it even exist?!
Today we said goodbye to Sungai Wang after a day of shopping. Tried to find dirt cheap treatment but all the sales keeper were either trying to rip us off or selling us pirated/expired products. Seriously imitation is so crazy here in KL. They have fake Ed Hardy, Juicy Couture, Babyliss etc... Omg the sellers must be seriously buay paisei because they sell those imitations at sky high prices. Saw a shop called Ying Ji Fashion and I'm seriously in love with their clothes but their prices are sky high also. I would never pay 100+ for a shirt that isn't branded, but I honestly thought of buying an outfit or two (or three) from that shop. If anyone has 1k they don't need, I would appreciate the donation. :D
Oh yea, I tasted the most fabulously delicious cheese baked rice at Kim Gary. Syiok qin!
I'm currently on the way to Sunway to meet my wife. Omg my wife, I miss you! Will be meeting you soon!

KL - Day 2
Woke up at about 10am after crashing at 8pm.. The first thing we did when we woke up was moving to a different guesthouse. Then we headed out to hunt for Nandos at KLCC. Cost us rm10 to cab there which made my bro go: my goodness you lazy ppl... It's so near!!
Look at how happy he is! :D
But honestly, the mild spicy one is nais! Love! And the sweet corn was orgasmic! Yum!
Anyway, we had our fill and began touring KLCC like the guests that we are. Nothing much to buy and the bookstore didn't have the books I wanted although they had a huge selection. Could've spent the whole day there but it'll be a waste of good shopping time. Anyway, we made our way to Times Square after having a nice meal at Wendy's.
Omg check this out:
Bought loads!! Will probably be broke long before I reach home haha.. But it was satisfying. One thing I don't get is that when I was in SG and I saw clothes selling for 20 I would be like OMG SO CHEAP!! But here? I'm like RM25?!? Discount leh wei.. Why ah!? Is it cos everything is so bloody expensive in SG and we expect dirt cheap prices in KL!? A haha fml.. As in f malaysians life.
Dinner? I had auntie ann's pretzels for snacks so I wasn't hungry.
Funny story.
We were wondering how to get back to our guesthouse as we were in Times Square. We thought we were quite far away, but the infomationalist(?) at the information counter told us to go out the main door, go straight and turn left at the traffic light. In for a long trek, we started out. But guess what awaited us at the other side of the overhead bridge?! Lowyat!! So all this while we were like 10 minutes away! Wtf... Sua ku qin.
I saw a deliciously pink luggage at Lowyat that I'd love to bring home and he saw a messenger bag he'd like to bring home.. Problem is, it'll cost us about 1k to purchase both... Go figure!! Anyway, it's time to catch up on zzz's. Nights!

KL - Day 1
Woke up at freaking 5am after a hard night of partying - happy bday Hanb! Tried to sleep on the plane but couldn't, tried to sleep on the bus to KL Sentral but couldn't. Bro picked us up there and brought us for breakfast at Yut Kee. Nice chicken chop! And then we went to buy me a pair of baby pink havaianas and changed my bb's housing at bangsar - thanks Ben and Eric. Wasn't really happy with the camera lens change tho, cos it doesn't fit properly. But Eric said he'd replace it if ever falls out.
Oh, we also had the best cha sio in the whole world! The fatty parts disintegrate in your mouth. It doesn't just melt - it disintegrates! Lol..
The place is called Sun Ming. Make sure to visit it if you are ever in KL.
We also went to Lowyat before that and I can't for the life of me figure out why there's more people in Lowyat than Sungai Wang! Haha.. We are now in KLCC hunting for Nandos.

1928 an 1929 Harley Davidson Ignition Switch Dashes
This is a 1929 ignition switch assembly with a light to see the map meter and it does have an amp meter which is a nice thing to have on a battery ignition bike.
This is a 1928 ignition switch set up, no amp meter or light. My Harley is a 1928 J model which would have this set up but I am thinking about how nice an upgrade it would be to have the amp meter. I don't want to end up with a slapped together motorcycle but on a rider these things are important just like having a front brake. 1928 was the first year for a front brake on the JD line up and coincidentally the first year for Indian as well. Probably not by chance !

Queen Maxima wore this sumptuous diamond and sapphire tiara for the inauguration ceremony of her husband Willem-Alexander as King of the Netherlands. Until very recently, its history was shrouded in obscurity. In November 2013, prominent Dutch gemologist George Hamel revealed the results of research conducted into the origins and early history of this piece. His findings were made public at the Silver Museum in Schoonhoven, Holland's 'Silver City'. It would seem that each stone in the tiara was purchased brand new, and it is highly probable that the tiara was made in Amsterdam by Maison van der Stichel.
Our replica tiara as made as close as possible to the original

I like having something weekly to blog about and it feels sort of like a "deadline"
I need deadlines in my life.
and since I've temporarily staying with my parents I haven't been doing many DIY or home decor projects.... once Lee and I move {in May!!!} I'll be overloaded with great stuff to talk about. I hope.
for now... the best I've got is remembering to take a picture of what I wear a few times a week. I still only remember about every other day.
Life will be so much better now that he is around everyday ;)

Dripping wet, 98 pounds, it's summer, carrying steel from one side of the room to the other.
"hey, fitter girl, why you want to do this?" I think to myself, "she wants a baby and we can't live on a woman's pay"
I say, "I was unhappy sitting behind a desk."
"hey, fitter girl, I thought "take your daughter to work day was YESTERDAY!" (laughter)
I continue working.
Home, soaking wet, exhausted, bruises on my shoulders from carrying pipes.
"kathy, can you go get me mac donalds?"
"hey, fitter girl? can you bring me a left handed pipe wrench?"
My middle finger goes up.
I decide I need to focus on something to be valuable. Because being a 98 pound girl won't cut it. I decide I'm going to be a kick butt welder. I go to the hall and practice for hours each night. I get decent.
Time for a new job site. New foreman, I've never met him before. "you ain't like M.W. are you? 'cause she's an asshole and you better not be like her."
"I don't know her, but I'm my own person and hopefully not an asshole."
"hey fitter girl? do you wanna suck me off?"
I carry a core drill up a ladder because there's no stairway yet. No I don't want to suck you off. "she wants a baby, that's why I'm doing this."
Home. She hasn't brushed her hair. There's food in the garbage disposal from yesterday. She's playing video games. "can you get me Mac Donalds?"
it's raining, next day on the job site. Mud. slogging. The welder doesn't show up. My chance. I say to the foreman, "I can weld."
~skeptical look across his face~…."okay, let's see what you've got."
New machine, plugs it in. I put on my welding hood, I'm going to totally impress him. The rod spits and sputters, just won't run right. I felt sick. Terrified that maybe I didn't know how to weld after all.
"it's not working right." He curses and puts on the hood, picks up the stinger, and lo and behold, doesn't work for him either.
Machine was hooked to the wrong voltage.
"hey, fitter girl? you shouldn't be welding. you shouldn't be here."
I was up near the ceiling. Somehow a shower of sparks happened to fall on the guy who said that.
Foreman: "you won me over, you have that line over there to weld, I'll give you K.Z. to pimp."
Home. It's my thirtieth birthday. She throws a twenty at me and tells me to buy something. Lovely.
"she wants a baby but I don't think she'd be a good Mom."
"hey, fitter girl? Wanna go out with me?"
not really.
My welding hood drops and he's gone and she's gone and all that exists is the glowing puddle of metal. Salvation. Resurrection. Zen. Meditation. Peace.
"hey, fitter girl? You're ok."
"I'm damned good, is what I am."

As was demonstrated in the iconic hallway scene from the 1980 horror classic The Shining, there's something inexplicably strange -- and maybe even a little bit creepy -- about identical twins. Perhaps it's because with identical twins, there seems to be two of the same person, something that everyone else would understandably consider to be quite peculiar. But the truth is that identical twins are not all that rare; there is roughly 1 set of identical twins for every 250 births. And yet, most everyone is tirelessly entertained by stories of one twin being misidentified as the other or of inexplicable coincidences involving twin siblings.
Here are ten of the most fascinating real-life stories featuring identical twins:
10 Twins Separated at Birth Share Startlingly Similar Lives
On February 9, 1979, two 39-year-old men, who were twins separated at birth, met for the very first time. Astonishingly, despite being adopted by families that lived 45 miles apart, the two shared striking similarities in the lives they lived. For some reason, both of their adoptive parents had named them "Jim", and both had been married twice -- first to women named "Linda", and second to women named "Betty". Both also had children, and they had each named one of their sons "James Allan". At one time, each of them also owned dogs named "Toy". In fact, when Dr. Thomas Bouchard of the University of Minnesota conducted a study on the men, the personality variables in tests they underwent showed that the twins' scores on tolerance, flexibility, and conformity were so close to each other that it was as if a person had taken the test twice. And the similarities just kept piling up -- both had high blood pressure, had experienced what they believed were heart attacks, suffered from migraines, had undergone vasectomies, and chain-smoked.
9 Man Found Not Guilty Due to Identical Twin
In January of 2009, $6.8 million worth of jewelry was stolen from Kaufhaus des Westens (KaDeWe) in Germany. Surveillance cameras caught three masked thieves sliding down ropes to outsmart the store security. Eventually, DNA evidence -- a drop of sweat on a discarded latex glove -- pointed to a set of identical twins, Lebanese-born Hassan and Abbas. Both had existing criminal records for fraud and theft, but the investigation hit a snag when other evidence pointed to the fact that only one of them had participated in the crime. For the twins to be legally detained, the prosecution had to prove that they could identify which one of the two was guilty. Unfortunately, as is the case with all identical twins, the DNA of one could not be differentiated from the other's. That forced the judge to rule that the twins had to be let off the hook until evidence could identify which one of the twins had participated in the theft.
8 Which One's Dad, Which One's Uncle?
In 2004, Holly Marie Adams of Missouri gave birth to a little girl, and she named Raymon Miller as the baby's father. However, Raymon contested being responsible for siring the child. But that shouldn't have been such an unsolvable problem since a paternity test could've settled the matter with little doubt. In this case though, a DNA test wouldn't have provided certainty since Raymon had an identical twin brother, Richard, with whom, of course, he shared the same genetic make-up. But still, only the twin who had sexual relations with Holly could've been the father. Well, the problem was that they both had intercourse with Holly -- and on the same day at that, although separately. In the end, however, the judge ruled that in cases where a paternity test is not definitive, the existing evidence had to be used. That led the judge to rule that Raymon, who still contests the decision, was the little girl's father.
7 Man Repeatedly Takes the Blame for His Twin Brother
In July of 1994, a Ventura County prison made a startling arrest. Ronald Anderson, whom they thought was already in the sixth month of serving time for spousal abuse, was arrested for choking a woman into unconsciousness. "What was Ronald doing out of jail?" they thought. Well, it turned out that the man who was serving the sentence wasn't the one whom they thought they had jailed; it was the Ronald's twin brother, Donald. It was later further revealed that the then 43-year-old Donald had served his brother's sentence three other times and had even taken Ronald's place in the Korean war during the 70s. Asked about why he would repeatedly take up the cudgels for his twin, Donald explained, "My twin needed help. Not only am I talking about this now, but I am doing all the things I do because I love him."
Ventura County judge Charles Campbell was not amused. He sentenced Ronald to 14 years in prison for the jail switch.
6 The Twins With Different Birthdays
Identical twins are quite rare, but even rarer are identical twins born on different days. Even rarer than that, however, are identical twins born months apart. But that's what happened to the twin girls of Maria Jones-Elliott of Waterford, Ireland. Actually, Maria had little hope that her babies would survive as her water broke a mere 23 weeks into her pregnancy. However, on June 1, 2012 a premature Amy was born alive although she weighed even less than one pound. At that point, all Maria and her husband could do was pray that their baby would somehow miraculously survive. And Amy did. Then, on August 27, an unbelievable 87 days after the birth of the first twin, Katie was born -- a new record for the longest interval in between the births of twin babies.
5 The Strange Couple That Hardly Rests
In Yiwu, China, the regular customers of one restaurant were baffled at how the married couple that ran it could continuously be at the eatery despite the fact that it was open 21 hours each day. In fact, locals had jokingly nicknamed the owners "the robot couple" as it seemed that they never rested. However, those who knew the couple also knew their secret: there wasn't just one tireless couple, but two couples that worked shifts of ordinary length. The Zhanghua identical twins had married identical twin girls, making the couples almost indistinguishable from one another. Of the setup, the twin couples expressed that they were extremely happy to be running their restaurant together like one big family.
4 Woman Marries Twin Sister's Convicted Killer
Valentine's Day is a great occasion to get married, but for some reason, an angry crowd greeted Edith Casas as she wed Victor Cingolani in Argentina on February 14, 2010. In fact, the crowd was so outraged by the wedding that they pelted the bride with eggs and stones as she left the registrar's office, while Victor had to be rushed out through the back door to return to his cell. Yes, the groom had to go back to prison as he was in the first year of serving a 13-year sentence for murdering -- of all people -- Edith's twin sister, Johana. Victor had been convicted of being a "willing participant" in the murder of his ex-girlfriend after Johana's body had been found on the outskirts of the city. Meanwhile, the newlyweds maintain that Victor is innocent, but the twins' parents will have none of it and have declared Edith as being "guilty of terrible betrayal."
3 Twins Share Similar Circumstances in Death
In 2002, a 70-year-old man died in Raahe, Finland after being hit by a truck while riding his bike. Then, just two hours afterwards, on the same road but 1.5 kilometers away, another 70-year-old man was killed while riding his bike and getting hit by a truck. Later, it was learned that the men were identical twin brothers and that the second twin to be killed still hadn't known that his brother had died.
Police officer Marja-Leena Huhtala, who filed the reports on the accidents noted,
This is simply a historic coincidence. Although the road is a busy one, accidents don't occur every day. It made my hair stand on end when I heard the two were brothers, and identical twins at that. It came to mind that perhaps someone from upstairs had a say in this.
2 Twin Sisters Inexplicably and Simultaneously Go Insane
Swedish twins Ursula and Sabina Eriksson boarded a coach from Ireland and were on their way to London when they began behaving strangely. They refused to allow security personnel to search their bags, forcing officials to disallow them from re-boarding the coach. Afterwards, when highway officers tried to assist the women, they ran across a busy street, causing Ursula to get hit by a vehicle. Then, when police arrived to survey the situation, the women once again ran into the street where they were both hit by cars. Ursula suffered serious leg injuries, while Sabina was left unconscious for a few minutes after sustaining a head injury. When Sabina regained consciousness, she then attacked a police officer, who was forced to arrest her. Appearing normal afterwards, Sabina was released. However, that turned out to be a huge mistake as later that day, she stabbed to death a man whom she had convinced to take her in. Before the strange turn of events, the sisters had had no history of mental illness and were not believed to have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol during their meltdown.
1 Strange Twin Sisters Decide That Only One Can Live On
Identical twin sisters June and Jennifer Gibbons from Wales, the United Kingdom, were the only black children in the community and were often picked on in school. That was probably the trigger that caused them to behave quite strangely, refusing to communicate with anyone except each other and their younger sister, Rose. In their spare time, they took up writing and created strange stories involving homosexuals and animal-to-human organ transplants, among other topics young girls wouldn't usually tackle. Then, when the twin girls were older, they committed several crimes, which caused them to be committed to a mental hospital. Strangely, in 1993, a 30-year-old Jennifer passed away due to a mysterious heart disease. June then later revealed that she and Jennifer had agreed that one of them had to die for the other to be able to live normally, and that Jennifer would be the sacrificial twin. And true to her story, by 2008, June was living a seemingly ordinary life just a short distance from her parents' home.

Royal Goes to Camp Tulahead
By Art Martens
Just over a week ago Linda and I drove Royal to Camp Tulahead . The camp is situated in a narrow section of the valley between Princeton and Merritt. It's a pristine, peaceful setting, a perfect place for children and youths to forget about whatever issues they had at school and get away from parents and siblings. Tulahead also offers an opportunity to challenge body, mind and spirit. Royal has been to the camp in previous years, as has his older sister Tabitha. The family has always participated fully and energetically in the bottle drive organized by Hedley Grace Church to help with expenses. Some families contribute toward the tuition. The church covers the shortfall.
A week later when we returned to the camp to pick up Royal, he took us on a mini tour of the place, beginning with the climbing wall. He estimated it to be about 30 feet high. A good estimate, I thought. I would have loved to watch the campers climb it, but had to be content with a couple of photos.
He also showed us the outdoor chapel where the campers and staff meet in the morning. Surrounded by trees, it's rustic but quite adequate. Here they sing, pray, listen to a meditation, and engage in meditation themselves if they choose to.
One of the highlights for Royal was winning an archery contest. He does archery at home so he has experience with a bow. Being lean and fit is a benefit in archery.
Tim, the camp director was wandering among the campers and came to us for a chat. He said Royal had done well, which we were pleased to hear. While we were asking Tim questions about the camp, Royal joined a small group of friends. I asked if I could take a picture for the blog. They seemed pleased and readily agreed.
When we arrived back at his home just east of Hedley, he thanked us and gave us each a warm hug. We sensed that the week at Camp Tulahead had produced some very positive inner growth.
