Expanding on my post about UltraMicrolite20 from a c0uple of days ago, perhaps the biggest shortfall of the system is the lack of a magic system. There was the Open Ended Magic System (I think by Alex Schroeder, but not 100% certain of that), but I found it to be a little too crunchy for my tastes. I've come up with an alternative, rooted somewhat in the Open Ended Magic System, that I think simplifies things a bit.
XUM 20 Free-form Magic System
In order to be a spellcaster a character must have the Knowledge skill as a Tag skill.
Limitations of Magic
1) Magic can neither create nor restore life.
2) Magic can change matter's form, but cannot create or destroy matter.
3) Like water, magic flows through the path of least resistance.
4) The caster must be able to see, with his/her own eyes, the creature, object or area targeted by the spell effect.
Spell Points (SP)
Spellcasters have a number of Spell Points equal to their Mind score. Spell Points are spent on spell effects, and regenerate over time. Spellcasting monsters and NPCs have SP equal to ½ their Hit Dice, rounded down (minimum 1).
As an optional rule, casters can take hits to gain additional SP for spellcasting. These hits can be healed magically, but otherwise require extended rest to recover.
Base Spell Effects
A spell is assumed to be an instantaneous effect cast on a single subject, object or area within the caster's natural line-of-sight. This line-of-sight cannot be extended through Clairvoyance or other means of remote viewing, though enhanced vision, such as infravision or x-ray vision, do apply.
Damage and healing spells have a base effect of 1 hit. Spells providing bonuses to stats (STR, DEX, move rate, etc.) have a base +1 bonus.
Increased Effects
A caster spends SP to increase a spell's base effect as follows:
Area of Effect = 1 SP per 10' radius; spell will affect everyone in the AoE, friend and foe alike
Increased Bonus = 1 SP per +1 bonus to STR, DEX, Mind or move rate
Increased Damage = 1 SP per +1 hit inflicted
Increased Healing = 1 SP per +1 hit healed
Increased Spell DC = 1 SP per +1 to spell resistance DC or to spell attack roll
Meta Effect = SP cost modifier applied by the GM for more powerful effects
Stacking Effects = 1 SP per additional effect stack, plus any other SP costs associated with that effect
Wearing Armor = +1 SP per AC bonus of the armor worn by the caster
Sustained Spells
A caster may sustain a spell's effects, causing it to stay in effect as long as the caster concentrates on sustaining it. The spell ends immediately should the caster stop concentrating on it, become unconscious or die. However, sustaining a spell effect makes it more difficult to cast later spells, increasing the cost of spellcasting by 1 SP per sustained spell.
Spell Attacks
Spells deployed as direct attacks that inflict hits require a Spell Attack roll: d20 + Mind + Knowledge ≥ target's AC. For area effect attacks, make a single roll and compare the result to the AC of everyone in the AoE. A roll of 1 on the d20 always misses.
Spell Resistance
Unwilling targets are allowed a spell resistance check to negate a spell's effects on them. Use an appropriate stat and skill rating for the check (use Hit Dice for monsters and NPCs). The resistance DC is 10 + caster's Mind + Knowledge rating (use 10 + Hit Dice + 3 for monsters/NPC spellcasters). A d20 roll of 20 on a resistance check always succeeds.
GMs should assume that objects always resist spell effects. Further, assume that any creature that does not, or cannot, consent to a spell resists it, even beneficial or benign spells.
Some examples:
Resisting paralysis, polymorph or poison = STR + Physical
Seeing through an illusion or invisibility = Mind + Subterfuge
Resisting charm or mental effects = Mind + Communication
Recovering Spell Points
Resting for a few minutes allows a spellcaster to recover 1 SP. This means that casters effectively do not recover SP during combat, but can recover all their SP with a short rest after combat.
Example of Spellcasting
Mad Marko is a spellcaster with a Mind of 4 and a Knowledge of 6. He's wearing no armor and has 4 SP. Exploring a dungeon with his friends, he decides to scout ahead, casting a spell on himself that makes him invisible and silent. This costs 1 SP for the invisibility and +1 SP for the silence effect. Furthermore, he'll have to sustain the spell.
Spying a lone orc sentry, Marko quickly casts a damaging spell at it from down the passageway. Knowing most orcs are weak, he only does the base 1 hit of damage. Normally this would only cost 1 SP, but since he's sustaining a spell, it will cost him 2 SP. His spell attack roll is 9, + Mind (4) + Knowledge (6) for a total of 19, well over the orc's AC of 15.
Marko's now spent all his SP. He'll have to find a place to rest for several minutes if he wants to cast anymore spells.
After resting a bit and recovering his SP, Marko scouts out a room of orcs. Feeling lucky, he decides to cut loose with a fireball. Again, orcs are weak, so he goes for the base 1 hit of damage (1 SP), but adds a 10' radius (+1 SP). He's still sustaining a spell as well (+1 SP), for a total cost of 3 SP. Making his spell attack roll, he rolls a 1…disaster! The spell misses and now he's got a lot of pissed off orcs that know something's up.
The GM makes a spell resistance check to see if the orcs notice Marko standing in room's doorway. The DC to notice him is 10 + Mind (4) + Knowledge (6) = 20. The orcs get a 19 on the d20 roll, plus their 1 HD for a total of 20, just enough for one of the orcs to see through Marko's invisibility and yell out a warning.
Marko beats feet back to his waiting friends with a pack of angry orcs hot on his heels.
While this system is a bit simpler to use, it is also considerably more powerful than traditional D&D spell systems or even the Open Ended Magic System, particularly spellcasting outside of combat. Therefore, GM's may want to place some additional constraints on casters, such as requiring 15/20 XP to increase skills (instead of the standard 10 XP).

All That Glitters
It's your time to shine and silver glitter is a must-have on NYE! This eye-catching look from @doyouevenblend will most definitely make you stand out from the crowd! A twist on the cut crease, the hologram glitter is applied to the lid along the contrasting shade, if that's too much for you why not go for a silver glittery shadow and layer it on, check out our Insta post this morn from @amysmakeup box, it's wow! You can never have too much glitter ;)
Big, bold lashes are a must-have! Pair them with absolutely any eye look to up the glam or wear them on their own for a simple statement. @Rania_bellamarie_mua is our go-to account for gorgeous lash looks and this neutral eye is brought alive with these extreme lashes! Pair with a statement lip to complete the look.
Smoke It Out
We know smokey eyes are a go-to no matter what time of year it is but that's only because they work so well! To change it up a bit for the party night of the year, go for an ultra dark lid like @carolinebeautyinc, which will intensify the look even more. Highlight your inner corners to make your eyes pop, we LOVE!
Red Red Wine
Ok, we know you're going to be opting for bubbles over wine this eve (obv!), but you definitely can't go wrong with red on your lips! An instant classic, red lipstick is always a good idea! @nikki_makeup adds a touch of glitter to her red lip look to really amaze!
Warning – Red lipstick might look flawless but it won't when it's transferred onto his face (nightmare!) We recommend a liquid lipstick for a long-lasting, non-budging red.
Glitter Liner
If all-over glitter isn't your thing, how about adding it to your liner? We are obsessing over this look by @_beautybyalex today at Blusho HQ, it's just so sparkly and pretty! You can even add some crystals/gems too to make it that little bit more luxurious!
Heavy Metals
Charlotte Tilbury knows makeup and her new Nocturnal Cat Eyes To Hypnotise (£29) will have you New Years ready in a flash. The eyeshadow and pencil duos come in 4 metallic shades, are so easy to use and really look the part! We think these were made with New Years Eve in mind, who doesn't look marvellous in metallic?!
Glow girl glow! The queen of glam, Glamrezy, is never seen without her flawless glow and we think it's almost a requirement for New Years Eve! Just think of all those camera flashes and spotlights, you will be the centre of attention with those illuminated cheekbones. MAC's 'Oh Darling'(£26.50) highlighter is @Amrezy's highlight of choice in this look, you can thank us later ;)

The Hem of His Robe
For the past few years I've had this problem.
You don't really want to hear all about it, but for the sake of what I want to share, I will tell you. I have too much estrogen. You'd think this would lead to more awesome womanness, but actually it causes several problems. It's not just constant PMS symptoms, but also constant bleeding. The good news is that I went to the doctor years ago, and although it has gotten worse, I have stuff I can take that helps minimize these things (and totally eliminates the constant bleeding).
I continue to look for ways to be more hormonally balanced by eating differently, minimizing stress, etc. The symptom that is the most bothersome to me is extreme irritability. The difference between normal grumpiness and hormone induced irritation is marked. My rational mind tells me when a situation or interaction should or should not lead to anger and when this problem is at it's worst, I walk around in a fog of anxious irascibility. I find this side effect the most disturbing because it impacts my relationships with other people and those are what I value most. Also, I don't enjoy being angry!
Every once in a while I run out of the medicine that helps me and I usually keep a pretty relaxed attitude about it until, three or four days later, my skin hurts and I'm trying desperately to not bite people**.
I ran out of medicine a week and a half ago and while I'm not having horrible symptoms, I did have a revelation last night about a story in the Bible. I suddenly realized that I am the woman with the issue of blood from Mark 5 (also Luke 8 and Matthew 9)…Read More
When You're Gone
My strongest urge right now is to clam up. This rarely leads to anything good, and so I'm writing.
Today is my daughter Sarah's sixth birthday. How does one celebrate (commemorate?) the birthday of a dead person? When people have children, they usually spend a decent amount of time planning birthday parties. What you do, you do for the kid. I assume you do what you think your kid will enjoy most. Birthday cake with trucks, cake shaped like a doll, colorful streamers, games, friends. If they are really young, you invite whoever will come and everyone sits and watches this dexterously inept human smear frosting from ear to ear, and from nose to toes.
But does a person who has stopped living continue to age? And what do you do on their birthday every year?
I have been asking those questions on this day for the last six years…Read More
Mental Digestion
I've been mentally digesting two important thoughts today that seem to oppose each other.
Thought number 1 came this morning from the Twitter world. It struck me so soundly, that I typed it into a sticky note on my computer. It's been staring at me all day.
"Hyper-individualism leads to spiritual homelessness." -Bevin Ginder
This makes so much sense. I have walked that particular road, although I have also seen God pushing me ever toward interdependence with other believers.
Thought number 2 came this afternoon in class. Ron Smith, the founder of SBS is here teaching the Gospel of John to us. Today, in the first four chapters, he touched on several great things about Jesus, but one that got stuck right in my throat. In John chapter 1 Jesus is baptized. John the baptist (who dunked the Lord himself), says that he saw heaven open and the Spirit descend upon Jesus like a dove. He saw the Spirit, and it was like a dove.
Ron pointed out something that makes the dove particularly unique among birds; their flight pattern is unpredictable….Read More
The Look of Love
Today I've been thinking a lot about "image." Yesterday I watched several interviews with this actor who professes to be a Christian (at least in articles I've seen) but when he speaks (though very gifted, charming, funny and handsome) I don't see a whole lot of Jesus. He drinks, he swears, in general he talks just like anyone who doesn't care much for God.
Please don't stop reading, I'm not about to rant about this man's shortcomings. He's actually pretty amazing and I found myself envying him a bit. At the same time, I appreciate the goodness of blessing and the temporary nature of things like fame. It's very possible that his heart is deep and full of the love of God.
Then, today I encountered another kind of Christian. This man is a pastor. What comes out of his mouth is misogynistic, homophobic, arrogant and unloving.
Both of these men have influence, both are gifted and well known, both profess to love Jesus. My mind wanted to judge between them. To decide about them….Read More
Out of Hiding
About a year and a half ago God totally blew the lid off of my hopes and dreams for the future. At that point he told me I wasn't dreaming big enough and when I examined what I'd been "dreaming" of, I realized this was absolutely true. Without thinking it through, I was just putting one foot in front of the other and looking for ways to come alongside others in their dreams.
Honestly, a bit of that is good because I really still have a heart to see other people walk in their calling and purpose, but what God was leading me to see was that He had something specifically for me that was way beyond what I'd ever considered.
As last year progressed three things appeared to be a part of that dream, 1. the whole world, 2. every area of discipleship and 3. teaching.
I can guess what you're thinking, "Peggy, that's too big. You gotta narrow it down a bit or you'll do nothing." Believe me, I said that to God. To be honest, I don't know all of the specifics. I don't know how the years ahead will look. What grows and grows and won't stop is this deep hunger to teach people, show people, walk with people in such a way that they really know who God really is. There are many facets to that, but I am jealous for God's reputation and His name not only because I love Him, but because I know that when people really know Him, they will be surprised, then saved and transformed. He is so good and so worthy…Read More
Two things have been standing out to me in the last week and they are connected.
At the beginning of the week, my friend Angela taught the students an overview of the Bible. She went from Genesis to Revelation to give them a big picture look at the whole story right before they jump into the moments and details of this epic Book with the inductive methoWhen Angela got to Jesus and how he fulfilled so many things spoken in the Old Testament, she showed a video clip of him in the garden of Gethsemane from The Passion of The Christ. What struck me as I watched the clip was how truly he struggled with doing what he knew the Father sent him to do. It wasn't just a little hard for him to go to the cross. It made me think of Hebrews 12:3-4 which says, "Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted. In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood." I had not really connected those verses in Hebrews with Jesus because I had never considered Jesus' struggle in the garden as one of temptation to sin…Read More
As You Loved Me
Do you ever wonder what Paul was like in person? Until I actually studied the New Testament as a whole I pictured him so pious and judgmental. After reading all of his letters and really considering what his life looked like, it's impossible to remember how I got to those assumptions about him.
I do remember being vastly comforted by the book of 2 Corinthians. I felt he must have been writing to people like me. When I discovered that the Corinthians were actually super critical of Paul, the humility with which he wrote becomes a hundred times greater. Standing in the face of those who say you are weak and explaining how much deeper your weakness goes than they could ever know… Well.. it has shown me what a deep trust and love Paul had for Jesus; how much his identity was based not on what men thought of him, but based solely on what the Father had done for him….Read More
The Good Portion
Lately I've been thinking about this word, "intimacy."
The official definitions I find don't seem to convey much depth,
- Close familiarity or friendship; closeness.
- A private cozy atmosphere.
How would you define intimacy?
When I think about my closest friendships, I see intimacy with them in the same light that I see vulnerability. I can admit my faults and struggles to just about anyone (even to the world wide web), but how I feel right now is probably the most sensitive. What's going on inside of me in the moment is the most vulnerable thing for me to share. I think this is because once I have thought through things, I can find a way to accept myself and communicate to others in a way that is more likely to ensure their acceptance of me. When I haven't thought through something, I may discover that I don't like myself and then it's a danger that others might not like me, as well. I'm not sure it's the same for everyone, but I do know that when I choose to be vulnerable a kind of intimacy takes place with the person I'm sharing with. Especially if they aren't horrified by what I've shared….Read More
The Space Between
There is this space between confusion and understanding that is difficult to handle.
Yesterday I watched a fictionalized account of the end of the apostle Peter's life. He's telling a Roman soldier about the days before Jesus died and I was struck by the last supper in the upper room. First, Jesus tells them that someone is going to betray him. Matthew 24:22 says, "And they were very sorrowful and began to say to him one after another, "Is it I, Lord?" This part always gets to me. In our deepest hearts we stand before God and know the treachery we are capable of committing. For some reason Jesus allows them this time of reflection as they wonder what he knows that they do not.
Then Jesus has the disciples drink the wine and eat the bread. He tells them that it symbolizes his blood and body. Then, this Messiah about to be king gets down and washes their feet….Read More
A New Redemption Song
This is the place a person expects to feel a lot of emotions. One week before the end of a very intensive 9 month… anything. When the school started I laughed about it being as long as a pregnancy and how I hoped to birth something awesome at the end. A metaphorical birth, thank you.
Near the beginning of this "pregnancy" (Bible course) I found out what I would be having when it was over- a life as a teacher. But when starting a new life, where does one start? With babies you buy clothes for them to wear, not knowing how much they will swim in the newborn clothes or how quickly they will grow out of them. You set up room in the house for the baby to sleep, not knowing how much or when sleep will occur. You pick out names, not knowing if what you've finally agreed upon with your spouse will actually suite this small human.
I have done those things for a literal baby, only to find everything far different than anyone had prepared for or expected. She only lived 19 hours. I'm not trying to get all depressing on you here, but I just want to give myself some perspective.
We don't know what will happen next….Read More

This dog is fulfilling his bucket list before he completely loses his memory
Dementia doesn't just affect humans – dogs can develop it too. And for some of them, it can be a race against time to fulfill ambitions before they lose their memories completely.
So, one woman is helping her dog carry out his bucket list before that happens.
Six months ago, Mugly started acting oddly – getting lost around the house and staring into space for long periods of time. It turned out that this was the beginning of doggy dementia.
When he was seven, the Peterborough-based Chinese Crested was crowned the Worlds Ugliest Dog, 2012.
After his diagnosis in June, his owner Bev decided to put a list of experiences together so his final days would be filled with happy memories.
These include things like acupuncture, sailing, sitting in a fire engine and a day at the seaside.
Bev says that Mugly's diagnosis had left her 'devastated'.
'I've had Mugly since he was eight weeks old, I took one look at him and my heart melted.
'He's been such a great dog, it was a huge shock to the whole family.'
She says that she realised time would be precious for Mugly so she decided to make a 'fun, lighthearted bucket list for us to complete together before the dementia completely takes hold of him.'
His two favourite things so far have been sailing and sitting in the fire engine.
'He's always loved water but he's never been on a boat so that was great, and he's always loved riding in things especially trains so it was a unique experience to see him in a fire engine.'
He's still got a number of things left on the list, including meeting Joey Essex, going on This Morning and meeting the Queen's Corgis.
'We will do as much as we can now,' says Bev.
'Mugly has bad and good days when I can see his old personality shining through again – that's when we go out on our adventures.'
The duo are also hoping to raise £2,500 for Cinque Ports Rescue – a volunteer rescue centre in Kent where Bev has adopted six dogs from, including Mugly.

Dear Quiet Minds,
It is impossible to live without failing at something unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all.
-J.K. Rowling
Failure is like an eerie, dark fence enclosed around your mind. Whenever you think of a dream or a goal that you want to accomplish, there comes a point when you reach the fence surrounding your mind and can't go any further. Failure is inevitable. In some places, you will be able to succeed exceptionally, but in many other areas, you will easily fail. You touch the damp wooden fence, feel its splinters and realize that you can't achieve a dream. You allow the fear to consume you. Sometimes fearing failure is what ultimately causes you to fail. It is a shadow that constantly follows you, creeping into the deepest desires of your heart. This is what stops us from growing into our full potential. As Tullian Tchividjian once said, "The deepest fear we have, 'the fear beneath all fears,' is the fear of not measuring up, the fear of judgment. It's this fear that creates the stress and depression of everyday life."
I constantly feel like I am not measuring up because of my fears to fail. This, in the end, causes a vicious cycle where your fears of not measuring up cause you to give up on your dreams and because you fail you don't measure up. Coming round full circle is what impedes you from taking on new projects because you don't see how much you can offer. Unfortunately, fearlessness is not an easy trait to come by because experiences and social constructs introduce you to fears that you don't know how to approach with courage. Like your own shadow, failure is always with you, popping up in the worst possible moments.
Recently I've feared writing a book. Ever since I was in middle school, I have dreamed of being an author and seeing my book on the shelves of stores. However, I've also read many books and found that there are so many authors out there that have a talent with words. It's a talent that they may have gained naturally and due to the large number of experts in the writing field, I fear that my talents have not reached those heights. However, because of this, I push book ideas to the back of my mind where they eventually fall into the abyss of insignificance. All the details and characters that I created fizzle out into nothingness until I can't remember what my ideas were to begin with.
This sad parting makes me feel like I've lost something very important. It's an idea that I can never return to its original state because of all the times it got lost in the back of my mind. This is ultimately when you start living so cautiously, like Rowling said, that you enter a state of dwelling on your dreams and forget to live. I've been living cautiously these past few years, allowing schoolwork to consume me, but I've realized that once school ends, time would have been wasted. I need to start acting. Although the shadow called Failure will always be with me, I have to start turning on the light and allow it to illuminate my dreams and hide the shadows. Even though the shadow is still there, lighting the right path to your dreams and walking that path will allow you to feel much more productive and happy.
Remember failure is inevitable, but dreams are one in a million. Take action before they get lost in your quiet mind.

I have had a few requests recently regarding how to apply blusher, what products to use and where.
Applying blush is a technique which, when applied correctly can make you look healthy and glowing. In contrast, if applied incorrectly it can easily give you the clown effect. Applying blush seems like something that should be relatively easy to pull off, which when you know the correct method and products to use, is correct. However to start off, make sure to take your time to get used to the technique, it takes a bit of practice but you will get the hang of it in no time.
To master the blusher technique, you really need to have contoured your face accordingly to begin with. Here is a link to a MAC video tutorial on how to contour and shape your face. Please note that this will change for each face shape, but this will give you some sort of idea as to how to contour your face. (I will write a full post on contouring for your face shape soon).
When picking a colour for your blush, it is important to select one which is suited for your own skin tone. You will want to select a blush which is close to the natural glow of your cheeks after exercise or exertion.
To find the perfect blush, it depends very much on the depth of your skin tone. For example, lighter skin tones will wear lighters colours such as pink or coral shades; where darker skin tones will suit the darker colours such as burgundy or wine shades.
Your next step is to match your skin tone:
- Yellow Skin tones should wear cool colours such as pink or plum.
- Olive Skin tones should wear warm apricots.
- Dark Olive Skin tones will suit colours with an orange base.
- Neutral Skin tones are the luckiest, you will be able to wear most colours although rose colours are recommended.
- Blue Skin tones (usually only seen in very dark skin) can wear reds or berries.
I know this may seem a lot to take in, but pop into any make-up store and the consultants will help you to find a colour to suit your skin tone and depth.
When applying blush, the angle in which you apply your colour is very important. This is the point where you could go from flawless to clown in seconds! The rule is generally that you contour, blush and highlight in three sections of your cheekbones. The lower, middle and upper cheekbone. You will contour on your lower cheekbone. This is usually the line which would join the top of your ear to the corner of your lips. Following that guideline you will move up slightly to your mid and upper cheekbone.
Here is a great tutorial I came across on YouTube to help you with where and how to contour, blush and highlight your cheekbones. It also shows you methods for different blush types.
How to apply blusher tutorial:
As an alternative to the MAC product used to contour in this video, a personal favourite of mine is 'Hoola' by Benefit Cosmetics.
I hope this information helps. If you have any questions about any of the information here, get in touch.

I did it again…
February 25, 2006
I grew reluctant. Reluctant to post, though I had a lot to say. I've written a lot over these past few weeks, but without exception, all of it awaits in the shadowed wings of the 'Drafts' section, or saved in some obscure corner on my computer.
I need to remember to post what I write. If I continue to wait until I feel a particular piece has satisfied all my various demands of coherence, elegance and brevity, then I shall post nothing.
I must also start writing about the books I read while I'm reading them, rather than wait till after I'm finished. Otherwise I always forget or get caught up in some other book, until it is too late and I begin to feel that it has been too long, and my recollections have become blurred by the passage of time and consumption of other novels.
So over the next few days I am going to attempt to fix up my drafts and post them here, as well as complete some reviews of a few novels I recently read, including R. Scott Bakker's intriguing "The Darkness That Comes Before", and a few others.
Here's to many more (frequent) posts!

Surrounded by the Aravalli Hills and set in a scenic valley along the banks of the holy Pushkar Lake, Pushkar is a famous Hindu pilgrimage town in the Ajmer district in the Indian state of Rajasthan. The Westin Pushkar Resort & Spa is just minutes from many of the town's top attractions. Jaipur International Airport (JAI) can be reached by car in less than three hours.
Meaning "lotus flower" in Sanskrit, Pushkar is filled with rich history. Engage in an uplifting walking tour around town to see Pushkar's many temples, including the Brahma Temple. Built during the 14th century, it is one of the only temples in the world dedicated to Lord Brahma, the Hindu god who created the universe. Climb up the steps of the Savitri Temple—built in honour of Lord Brahma's wife—and admire the spectacular lake and surrounding views that are particularly majestic at sunrise. The beautiful Pap Mochini Temple and Rangji Temple are also noteworthy. Not far from Pushkar, Ajmer is another important holy centre and is highlighted by its most famous attraction, the Dargah Sharif.
Take an adventurous sunrise or sunset camel safari through the sand dunes in the Great Indian Desert, and marvel at the exceptional scenery. Witness pilgrims bathing in the 52 bathing ghats that surround Pushkar Lake. Attend one of the numerous colourful festivals and fairs held throughout the year, such as the annual Pushkar Camel Fair in November. In addition to exciting horse and camel races, this five-day fair includes vibrant folk music, dancing, and magic shows.
Browse the small shops at the Sadar Bazaar for textiles, jewellery, miniature paintings, and other local handicrafts. Find serenity at a yoga class or take a cooking class to learn how to prepare traditional Indian cuisine. After a day of activity, recharge with some of Pushkar's delightful vegetarian dishes.

Woman: Charlie... I've, uh... I've been with another man. Aren't you gonna say anything ? You're just gonna sit there? Oh Charlie, I didn't know when you were coming back or if you ever would. I tell you, the men around here don't respect anything ; if I told you all the guys that called me up...And then Cliff... He didn't make a pass at me. I mean he didn't even... do it at all, Charlie. I knew what he wanted, but... he never did anything about it. And then it just seemed like the two of us just had to.
Charlie: I don't think I'm up for any more of this. Why don't you go to bed? I'll work this all out.
Woman: What are you gonna do ?
Charlie: I'm just gonna sit here.

How Can I Trust You?
I don't know
I don't think that I am good enough for you
How will I know when everything is right?
Is our love really true?
Are you just playing a game with me
Trying to get into my head?
When all you really want to do
Is see that I am tucked inside your bed.
I am scared you will see
Just how much you frighten me.
I had hoped that you would understand
That I am not ready to have those feelings
I am not ready to share that part
For now I want to keep it in my heart
I don't know how to tell you
I just feel that I have so much to loose
I don't think you are being true
I have my doubts
Doubts I wanted to hide.
However now you give me no choice
I don't know if I want to be part of your life.
I can't seem to get over my fear
And your not making it easy to be here
I really want you to understand
But I don't know how to tell you

The Oxford English Dictionary defines success as the "accomplishment of an aim or a purpose". According to this definition, you are successful when you have achieved the outcomes, goals and targets you set yourself. These can be very different for each of us. Success can take many different forms for women, whether it is becoming a leader in her field, being a great mum, raising a family and making sure her children have everything they need to develop, winning medals in sport contests, caring for others or just being the best she can be.
Whatever your definition success it will be very personal to you and will reflect your unique qualities and gifts.
So what is your definition of success? What do you want to achieve in the next few months, this year, in the next three years, your life? I also invite you to review how your New Year's resolutions (if you made any of those at the beginning of this year) in the light of your answers to these questions and check how these fit in with your definition of success. Some people find it helpful to journal answers to these questions as it helps them to check back on progress, jog their memory and/or become more focussed. If you are not used to keeping a journal, have a go and find out if it works for you.
How much of 'your 'definition of success is your own? And, how much of it is based on what other people view as successful? Part or all of our definition of success is often influenced by parents, friends, teachers, the culture we grew up in or people we adopted as role models. I have known a lot of women who struggled to achieve the level of success they wanted without realising that part of their definition of success was, in fact, not theirs. They had subconsciously adopted other people's views of what their goals should be and found themselves in constant conflict between what wanted deep down and what they thought they had to achieve. If you find it difficult to answer these questions, you might like to think about how the different people in your life define success and map this to your views.
How do you talk or think about what you want to achieve? If you find yourself using a lot of shoulds, have tos, need tos, ought tos, musts or using a lot of reasons why you were unable to make progress against your goals, one of the reasons for this could be that your goals may not be entirely your own. I invite you to have a play with this over the next few weeks and observe what words you use when you think or talk to others about your goals. If you want to make it more fun, team up with a friend and pick up on each others watch words about your goals and desired outcomes.
Feel free to share your views or ask questions by adding a comment to this blog article. I look forward to hearing from you!

Skip to comments.Zbigniew´s Advice To Obama: Tell Netanyahu No War To Stop Iran Getting Nukes
Posted on 03/22/2013 9:43:40 AM PDT by Nachum
Zurprise, zurprise: Zbig wouldn´t go to war to stop Iran getting nukes. On Morning Joe today, Jimmy Carter´s former national security adviser had some advice for President Obama: tell Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu that America will not go to war against Iran. Attacking Iran´s nuclear facilities would surely be an act of war. Yet doing so might well be the only way to prevent the ayatollahs from getting the A-bomb. Unfortunately, neither Joe Scarborough nor anyone else on the panel including daughter Mika asked Brzezinski
(Excerpt) Read more at newsbusters.org ...
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Daddy dearest? Netanyahu to zbig. STFU dumbass.
Zbig gave such sage advice to Jimmah that was so instrumental in allowing him to master the Iran, as we've since learned. /s
What they seem not to understand that King Obama doesn't need a war to overthrow America, he has done a good job without war.
Apparently Zbigniew´s Middle East solution is: Allow Iran to annihilate Israel. No Israel, no problem.
So would Mr. Z prefer to go to war after Iran has the big one? Or would he then surrender?
Has this old commie fart not kicked the bucket, yet?
Jimmuh "Peanut Brain" Carter filled his Cabinet with corrupt, incompetent, mediocre people. Zbigniew fitted right in.
Wasn't Zbig the same fool who advised Carter against action vs. Iran in the early stages of the hostage ordeal in 1979?
Actually, Zbig was coaching Jimmy Carter in foreign affairs when Jimmy was still in the Georgia Governor's mansion. If I recall correctly, the President of CocaCola told David Rockefeller that he had found "the perfect dupe," Jimmy Carter. Rockefeller dispatched Zpig to groom Jimmy for a run at the White House.
Zbig was the guy who invented Radical Islam as a "bulwark against Communism" and set the Ayatollah Khomeni up in Iran.
Ziggy has a long history of anti-Semitism.
Great picture of Brzezinski and Bin Laden. Posting on Twiiter. Good one.

Iron oxides are chemical compounds composed of iron and oxygen. Altogether, there are sixteen known iron oxides and oxyhydroxides.[1]
The most industrially-important iron ores are chemically iron oxides.
Some iron oxides are widely used in ceramic applications, particularly in glazing. Many metal oxides provide the colors in glazes after being fired at high temperatures.
Iron oxides yield pigments (see iron oxide pigments). Natural iron oxides pigments are called ochres. Many classic paint colors, such as raw and burnt siennas and umbers, are iron-oxide pigments. These pigments have been used in art since the earliest prehistoric art known, the cave paintings at Lascaux and nearby sites. Iron (III) oxide is typically used.
Iron pigments are also widely used in the cosmetic field. They are considered to be nontoxic, moisture resistant, and nonbleeding. Iron oxides graded safe for cosmetic use are produced synthetically in order to avoid the inclusion of ferrous or ferric oxides, and impurities normally found in naturally occurring iron oxides. Typically, the iron(II) oxide pigment is black, while the iron(III) oxide is red or rust-colored. (Iron compounds other than oxides can have other colors.)
Black oxide converts ferrous materials into magnetite for corrosion resistance purposes. A grade of hematite called MIO (micaceous iron oxide) is used as anti-corrosion paint (many bridges, Eiffel tower).
Iron oxide is used in magnetic recording, recording sound, pictures, video and computer data on plastic tape or floppy disks.
Iron oxides are used as contrast agent in Magnetic Resonance Imaging, to shorten proton relaxation times, (T1, T2 and T2*). The superparamagnetic contrast agents are composed of a water insoluble crystalline magnetic core, usually magnetite (Fe3O4) or maghemite (γ-Fe2O3). The mean core diameter ranges from 4 to 10 nm. This crystalline core is often surrounded by a layer of dextran or starch derivatives. The total size of the particle is expressed as the mean hydrated particle diameter. USPIO, Ultrasmall Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide nanoparticles, which usually have single crystal cores, have a mean hydrated particle diameter less than 50 nm.
They may also be used in electrochromic paints.
Combined with aluminium powder, iron oxide forms thermite, which is used in demolition and bomb building.
The iron oxide cycle (Fe3O4/FeO) is a two-step thermochemical process used for hydrogen production.
Iron oxides are chemical compounds. There are sixteen known iron oxides. Iron oxides are used in pigments. It is used in both man-made and natural pigments.
Venetian red (haematite), Magnetite (Fe304), or a mixture of oxides make black or purple pigments. The umber's, sienna's and ochre's are oxides or hydrated oxides of a yellow to chestnut colour.

That will be forty quid please…
"The cat (Felis catus), also known as the 'domestic cat' or, 'housecat', to distinguish it from other felines and felids, is a small furry domesticated carnivorous mammal, that is valued by humans for its companionship and for its ability to hunt vermin and household pests.
Cats have been associated with humans for at least 9,500 years, and are currently the most popular pet in the world.
Owing to their close association with humans, cats are now found almost everywhere on earth."
– Wikipedia
Sometimes, i wake in the night with a cat asleep on my chest and another asleep somewhere close by.
I used to always sleep in the foetal position, but recently seem to have begun to turn onto my back once i am asleep which, according to Mrs Drummerboy, causes me to snore like a warthog and, i am ashamed to admit, recently saw me having a conversation with a pharmacist concerning which of those stupid strips, that people stick on their noses to combat snoring, might be the best.
So, once on my back, i seem to provide a convenient flat surface for a cat to sleep on, as does Mrs Drummerboy but bollocks to her, the cats prefer their father, and would much rather sleep on me.
If i had my way, we would be co-habiting with 10-15 of the furry little fellas, but Mrs D seems to have put a cap on two of the beasts, which is a shame because i love cats; perhaps more than i love people.
This last statement is not made wantonly, nor without careful consideration, but if you've ever spent any substantial amount of time with cats, you may have come to the following conclusion:
Cats know how to live and were sent here by the universe to teach us how to live, however, it seems that no one is listening, so they just potter about, living, and wonder why we make such hard work of such a simple thing.
They don't think humans are stupid, they know humans are stupid, which is why, whenever i hear someone say they 'own' a cat, i have to stifle a giggle.
No one ever OWNED a cat; a cat condescends to live with you.
Cats have evolved and adapted their behaviour over thousands of years, displaying less aggression when in the presence of humans, because it is to their advantage to do so, in order to be provided with food and shelter.
This process is known as self-domestication:
To put it even simpler; cats have studied us over many years, identified our emotional Achilles heel (some unspecified emotional/existential/parental need), used it to manipulate us into meeting their survival needs whilst allowing us to believe we control this relationship, when it was they all along who domesticated themselves and, in practical terms, give us nothing in return.
Dogs have owners: Cats have staff.
Still think you OWN a cat?
Cats do the three things, which in my view are the blueprint for living:
eat when they're hungry
sleep when they're tired
absolutely accept, where they are, in every moment.
I have two questions i ask right off the bat to any client i work with;
"How are you sleeping?"
"Erm…shit" is the general response.
"Are you eating regularly?"
"Well…i had some toast yesterday…and some crisps…i think, but no, not really" or some other variation or combination, is the stock response to that question.
This is usually then followed by a laughably long list of the things which prevented them from meeting these very basic needs.
Please tell me, how do you feel when you're really hungry and haven't had enough sleep?
Stressed and at the end of your tether?
Thought so.
Most mental health problems, i reckon, could be sorted out swiftly by people receiving, and acting upon, the following suggestions from their therapist:
- Anything that is troubling you DOESN'T EXIST, so dismiss it…no really…it REALLY, REALLY DOESN'T EXIST…so stop thinking about it.
- Go and eat some nutritious food, when you're hungry, and at regular intervals.
- Go and sleep when you feel tired. If you can't sleep because your head won't shut up…see the first instruction.
- No thought entering your head should pertain to anything else other than what you happen to be doing RIGHT NOW…because that is REALLY all that exists…no REALLY…it is.
- Put your hand up to your face with the palm touching your nose…right…everything on the palm side, you have some influence over…everything on the other side is none of your business, so just let it happen.
- Oh yeah…and by the way…it's ok if you don't like your parents.
That'll be forty quid please 🙂
Cats don't think about anything other than what is in front of them, which they will explore and play with at length until they decide to eat or go to sleep.
Cats don't feel guilty about sleeping for as long as is necessary in order to feel refreshed, invigorated and content and i've never seen anyone admonish a cat for "missing the best part of the day".
Cats don't appear to have any issues with their parents, as often they don't see their parents again after the first few weeks of life, and because their parents are not right in front of them, THEY DON'T EXIST…and are therefore forgotten.
Cats eat until they are full and then eat again when they are empty.
Cats don't appear to have mental health concerns, nor do they fill their little beaks with cocaine hoovered up through a McDonald's straw – although this might just simply be a matter of logistics…what, with not being able to hold a straw…due to not having an opposable thumb…and stuff…fuck it…cats, to my knowledge, don't snort coke right?…right…now move on…
So, thankyou to;
- Hash
- Vicky
- Thai
- Miniature (Mini)
- Barry
- Cheeky
- Cookie
- Lazy
- Bindi
for showing me where i went wrong in the past, for teaching me all i need to put it right, and for sitting patiently and calmly with me,
whilst i continue to make a complete mess of,
and thoroughly complicate,
all of
the above.
My friend wrote the following response via a Facebook message to this latest blog entry.
He is very funny…and also writes a blog.
Read his blog at http://unfinisheddiaryofanawfulman.wordpress.com/
I would also like to add to your cat love…
that my ex girlfriend (and current, just friends) Casey and I also have a theory about kittens and "the secret"
shortly after they are born, their mom's tell them a secret
we do not know the "secret" but it is something that blows their mind, and they get very worried, and then comes acceptance.
this "secret" is one of the main reasons why cats don't sweat the small stuff, ….it could be because the "end" of life is NOT the end (for them, maybe,…9 lives and all), or maybe its a horrible tale, and so they just kick back and enjoy while they can…we will never know
you can tell when a kitten is first told the secret because they look like this

Thank you for teaching me to love cats 🙂 but oh no you missed off poor cheeky :((((((
Anything that is troubling you DOESN'T EXIST, so dismiss it…no really…it REALLY, REALLY DOESN'T EXIST…so stop thinking about it.
pheobe and titch both guest at same residence as the family and i they moved in at the start of our relationship thirteen year bond.Like Povlovs dog they cry when an adult passes there food and bring us small rodents on special occasions maybe like two grown up kids they treat our house like a hotel.

Chavez Vows to Expand Russian Investment; Venezuelan President Plans to Broaden Russian Investment
MOSCOW (AP) — Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez called on Russian business leaders Friday to boost their investment in his country, criticizing U.S. companies as "vampires" and inviting Russians to help develop a massive oil deposit. As Chavez kept up his verbal attacks on the United States during a visit to Russia, a Russian arms trade official said he hopes Venezuela will buy five Russian submarines — a purchase that would likely anger Washington. Chavez said he expects development of a "road map" that will boost and diversify Russian-Venezuelan business ties — especially in the energy sector, including construction of a natural gas pipeline and oil refineries. "We are very satisfied with the presence of Russian companies in our oil industry, and will do our best to develop this cooperation further," he said in an address to Russia's Chamber of Commerce and Industry. He said that at dinner Thursday night with President Vladimir Putin, they agreed to create a fund to support joint projects. With Russia's help, Venezuela is ready to build four oil refineries and plans another 13, he said. He also invited Russian oil companies to help develop the Orinoco River basin, recognized as the world's single largest known oil deposit, potentially holding 1.2 trillion barrels of extra-heavy crude. Earlier this week, U.S. energy Exxon Mobil Corp. and ConocoPhillips refused to sign deals to keep pumping heavy oil in the basin while giving the government control of their operations there. Other major oil companies Chevron Corp., Britain's BP PLC, France's Total SA and Norway's Statoil ASA accepted the terms, accepting minority stakes. On Friday, Chavez lambasted the U.S. and its "imperialist" policies. "U.S. companies act like Count Dracula, like vampires bleeding our country dry," he said. Chavez urged Russian companies to invest in construction of a 5,000-mile natural gas pipeline to Argentina, retrofitting Venezuela's dilapidated sea ports, and developing its gold mining and chemical and industries. "For the Americas, Venezuela is like Russia for Europe and Asia — a source of oil and natural gas," he said. Both Venezuela and Russia have revisited contracts signed in the 1990s with major oil companies, and slapped back-tax claims on private companies. Chavez arrived Wednesday amid widespread speculation that he wanted to sign a major arms deal, and Putin said the weapons trade was among the topics of talks late Thursday. On Friday, the RIA-Novosti news agency quoted an official with the Russian arms sales monopoly as saying the sides were in talks on the possible purchase by Venezuela of five Project 636 Kilo-class diesel submarines. "We are conducting these talks, and I hope that this agreement is possible," RIA-Novosti quoted Innokenty Naletov, an aide to the director of Rosoboronexport, as saying. He said there were also talks on supplies of military equipment for ground and air forces. Caracas already has purchased some $3 billion worth of arms from Russia, including 53 military helicopters, 100,000 Kalashnikov rifles, 24 SU-30 Sukhoi fighter jets and other weapons. The United States has voiced concern about Venezuela's military spending.

What You'll Get
Without regular care, skin will begin to show the ravages of repeated pie-strikes, attacks by hostile volleyballs, and nights spent accidentally sleeping on pet porcupines. Allay assaulted cheeks with today's Groupon: for $45, you get a Marilyn Monroe Moisture Surge facial, plus one add-on treatment, (up to a $120 total value) at Beauty Mark Face & Body, located in Hoboken.
Face-planting only organic and natural products, the aestheticians at Beauty Mark deftly drape the dermis in moisture-rich solutions. Your stride into the epidermal Hall of Fame begins with the Moisture Surge facial ($80), a 60-minute hydrating facial inspired by Marilyn Monroe. Camera-ready skin beams with softness, recharged to a glow that may spark punch-outs with similarly camera-ready paparazzi. Pick a facial add-on ($20–$40, excluding the minimicrodermabrasion) to indulge in yummy smears of enzymes and antioxidants, such as a collagen eye treatment, which minimizes puffiness caused by lack of sleep or leaving eyes in the microwave for too long. Or, nab a spicy, aromatic pumpkin peel, which holds enough active veggie enzymes to leave your face silky, smooth, and delicious smelling. Whichever aspect-enhancing extra guests choose, the entire tranquil experience is further accented by the spa's calm, quiet environs and noticeable lack of circus clowns.

In recent years, technological development has enriched media consumers with new concepts of different kinds. Tweet, Retweet, Tag, Hashtag and App are new words in our vocabulary. Suddenly it is not less unpleasant to have 3000 followers online. As long as it's about "friends" on Facebook, that is.
Before I begin writing this essay, I want to clarify one thing: I am an optimist about the future. My opinion is that we humans are adaptable and that we should constantly strive towards peak human performance, to the best of our individual abilities. That's why I'm a revolutionary conservative. Technological development has meant that instead of spending hours trying to peel the husk of five unripe nuts supposedly a day's nutritional intake, we can spend time writing, for example, essays on extremist blogs and eating non-keto indulgent cheat meals on the day of the Marquis de Sade's death, instead. Few would prefer the former.
In addition to technology giving us the opportunity to produce food in a simpler way, it has also made everyday life easier. Once you've lost your way to an afterparty in the suburban outskirts, simply pick up that modern device called iPhone in your pocket and tap in the address. Voilà, the blue dot leads you on the right track. No need to locate the star or ask a stranger. All of this is of course amazingly good. Me and my lousy sense of direction are the first to cheer at such opportunities.
But when I look up news sites and the main news is that the sales of ebooks for the first time have eclipsed the sales of regular books, I become literally Hitler. For books that you download to your iPad are no real damn books, for crying out loud.
I swallow the last sip of my lukewarm coffee inside Fiumicino Airport, remove my headphones emanating the tunes of Blank Banshee and Xurious. and check-in my heavy luggage filled with books and underwear, while carrying my overloaded backpack, mostly books therein as well. Now, some egghead may argue that if I had downloaded these roughly 3000 pages that make up my bibliomania onto a modern and shiny electronic screen device, I would not miss the flight and end up with Quasimodo's posture. But I would prefer not to. For a book is not a long Facebook status update that you can hold on and 'like' and comment and share with your 5000 'friends' anyway.
When reading books becomes social, the idea and meaning of reading books disappears. Reading is by its nature asocial. Spending an evening with a novel means that for a couple of hours you get rid of the collective dependence of the fast dopamine kicks that social media give rise to. That it takes a while to get into the story, is an indispensable part of this. The satisfaction and afterthought that arises when reading a really good book, make it all worthwhile.
If Facebook likes and retweets are one-night stands, disposable and uncomplicated stories that are quickly replaced by new, more exciting counterparts—then books are long relationships that make lasting imprint. It takes a while before you really get to know the other party, and when it's over you can feel empty but also happy that you found each other. You may even have a new view of the world. Patience lies in the very nature of the matter.
This essay is obviously not a call for you not to like my status updates or comments on Facebook, nor not to share this blog entry to others. I'm not bashing Internet-based communication. But if you think you can equate the feeling of stepping into a dusty antiquarian, the happiness of finding a book you did not know that you wanted, and the experience of brushing your fingertips against the wrinkly book cover and maybe even flipping a little gently through the recent discovery you have just made, by sitting and drumming on the MacBook while waiting for the download to complete all stressed-out, then you have made a big mistake.
You must not let the whole world know what you like and retweet all the time. It just suffices to just like something and browse.

Tanagra is the creation made by the second generation of Sébastien and Jean Charles who combined forces to produce a wine that embodies their vision of winemaking. Each bringing his experience, Jean-Charles his vast experience of producing a wine with this technique and quality, Sébastien his knowledge of oak through our involvement in the cooperage with Nadalié. Their different styles and combined efforts resulted in this unique top of the range Syrah.
A limited production completely hand made in an artisanal way, from vineyard to bottle packaging, exclusively vinified in NADALIE French and American oak barrels. The grapes were picked, selected, destemmed, and placed into the barrels by hand. The maceration, fermentation and then ageing during a whole year, took place within barrels. The barrels are not a final element, but the unique container from the reception of the grapes till the final blend.
The influence of the Pacific Ocean breezes on Casablanca Valley bless the grapes with an extended maturation period. We named this wine in honor of these winds. In Greek mythology, TANAGRA was the daughter of Eole, the god of the wind.
Technical details:
VARIETY: 100% Syrah
- HARVEST: By hand, May
- ORIGIN: Casablanca Valley
- COLOR: Deep purple red
- AROMA: Very complex and covers a wide range of aromas: notes of chocolate, mocha, vanilla & cassis, mixed with perfect harmony both red & ripe black fruit, spicy notes.
- TASTE: Ripe tannins with its fruit with a well balanced acid living it a nice vivacity in harmony with the word.
- SERVING SUGGESTION: It's suitable with lamb, turkey and smoked cheese.
Ready to drink now or cellar for up to 10 years. The serving temperature is at 14ºC to 16°C.

Since it's nearly summer and most people are planning their summer trips, I decided to share our Christmas vacation in one beautiful tourist spot- Bohol.
This trip has a lot of first times.
- I embarrassingly admit this is my first airplane ride( *blush*).
- First out of Luzon trip with Mama and bf together.
- First time to set foot in Bohol.
- First ever discount deal bought online.
Relating to my fourth list, this trip is a risk. I just bought the coupons on Ebay which meant we had discounts. We had the round trip tickets plus tour package , 3D/2N for only 5k! I did not want to let this cheap deal pass so I grabbed the discount and the rest is history as they say!:)
Note: This post is picture heavy. 🙂
We chose the dates on the first week of December as holidays and Christmas season were not part of the deal. Zest Airways was the airline our travel agency Pacific Link Travel and Tours got for us. Pardon for all the flying related photos as I am really thrilled! We had some hesitation while at the airport because of the e-tickets given by our TA. It was not the usual tickets you receive when you buy from the airline or a ticketing store.
After passing through all the stops at the airport, we were at last inside waiting for our flight! In fairness, everything was smooth. Note that we are actually too early!
While waiting for our flight, I could not help but wander around and compare our airport to other airports. I believe this is not the worst, but definitely cannot be part of the best. At last our plane came and I am happy the flight was not delayed. Zest Airways delivered an okay service. It was clean and the flight was smooth. Below are photos from our flight.
At last, after almost one hour up in the sky, we set foot at Tagbilaran airport. The sun was shining brightly! What a good day to see the place.
While we check out, there were hesitations of how to go to our sponsor accommodation. Outside the airport (which was really small), there were a lot of resort drivers hanging posters of people's names. Others were just waiting at the arrivals, offering those who had no accommodations yet. We came out not knowing what to expect, until I saw a familiar name written on a bond paper-my own name! And there was manong, raising the paper still under the heat of the sun. I made a sign at him that it was me. We finally met our sundo! He got the car, it was a vintage one! The ride to the resort was long. Manong said it was just 30 mins away, but for us, it was double that. I am not sure why it took so long, either manong drives slowly, or the car's engine cannot run any faster, it is far or we were just tired. hehehe…
We were welcomed at Cherry's @ Home Too Inland Resort in Tawala, Panglao, Bohol. It was really exciting as everything is going well. We were handed out the keys to our room right after I showed the printed receipt. Hassle free.
Below are our room photos. It was clean , well maintained and complete with amenities. They even gave us an extra bed as there were 3 of us. We also have complimentary breakfast. Nice accommodation!
As we left early in Manila for our flight, there were no time for breakfast. So after checking in at our room, we decided to go out and explore the restaurants nearby to grab a bite. Surprisingly, there were alot of restaurants and bars near Cherry's @ Home Too.
We stopped by on this spacious restaurant with wooden interior. Everyday we pass here, there were alot of foreigners filling the place. It was our regular dining place during our stay at Tawala, Panglao, Bohol. They offer a wide selection of food from tapsis, to grilled to Thai food. The menu and the food served was good. The tapsis we ordered cost just around P120.
They also have fresh seafoods to grill during the night. I couldn't help but had a grilled squid and chicken!It was really good. Mama and Vince also ordered grilled BBQ and kebab respectively.
Before our first day ends, we went back to Cherry's to explore the area and just hang out. They have a rooftop there were you could just sit and chill and also can be used for gatherings. They also have a swimming pool which we were able to maximize as the other guests didn't swim there.
Another good thing about the area aside from nearby restaurants is the presence of an atm, particularly BPI! There were also mini grocery stores and souvenir shops in case you want a hassle free shopping.
The next day was entirely for our trip to Bohol tourist spots which I will discuss in my next entry. We had a very good package as almost all sites were included and was explored. 🙂

Watching Fox Still Hazardous
Reported by Nancy - March 22, 2005 -
The last time I posted a selection of the letters we get that are addressed to Fox, it provoked a fair amount of comment & debate. Since I loved both the comments & the debate, here's an updated selection, again with only the names deleted to protect the ignorant. I'll make this update a regular feature, so readers can share the ... well, the amusement.
Date: 19 Mar 2005
Subject: Interview with Karl Rove
Dear Mr. Cavuto,
I happened to catch your recent interview with Karl Rove. I was surprised and shocked that you would let him use polling data from the Washington Post to support the President's plan for social security and then, a few minutes later, you allowed him to dismiss polling data from the same source("we don't govern by polls, thankfully") when discussing the war on Iraq. I have reproduced the appropriate sections from your official transcript, below. I have a new suggestion for a name for your show, "Softball".
Sturbridge, Mass
Date: 14 Mar 2005
Subject: Paul Sperry interview on O'Reilly
I think a better analogy for Mr. Sperry's observations concerning the infiltration of America by muslims would be the now (proven beyond a shadow of a doubt) attempted (quite successfully) infiltration of American Government institutions by Soviet spies in the 1930's & 1940's. They, too wanted to bring down America from within and worked the system pretty well -- even managing to get the only people smart enough to realize what was really going on branded as idiots. History has proven the only idiots were those on the political left who routinely defended people now proven to have been at the very least communist sympathizers and at worse actual Soviet spies. To draw comparisons with the Nazis is just another pathetic act on the part of people who are too lazy (or too intellectually challenged) to look at both sides of an issue and draw an informed conclusion. I personally don't agree with alot of things written by Mr. Sperry. I have read his first book (incidentally very damning of Pres Bush, VP Cheney, Condi Rice, etc) as well as some of his anti-Iraq war columns on antiwar.com. Nowhere have I ever read him calling for the expulsion of Muslims from America let alone their extermination. Come up with an observation that has some substance next time.
Date: 18 Mar 2005
Subject: Fox and Friends
Just wanted to say thank you, I watch almost all day in my office, in the AM at home and at night. Damit, why are you so good, I started watching Fox and Friends when I was in the hospital, and you know how hospital T.V's are, and hell got stuck. Please stop being as good as you are, so I can get back to the other shows.
Cincinnati, Ohio
Date: 25 Feb 2005
Subject: The Pope
Can you please relate this to management of the station. I love Fox News and I don't mean to be unsympathic, but please stop the overkill coverage of the pope. I am a believer, but not of the catholic faith. I will not be watching Fox if they continue their non stop coverage of the pope. If Billy Graham whom I love was in the same condition I wouldn't want to hear that 24/7 either. There is nothing new to report on him since they only make a statement once a day and not again until Monday. So Please, let up on this subject. There is a lot more going on in the world than the Pope.
Thank You

Subject: Steroids in Baseball
Of course they should check the baseball players, Shep. They don't have walmart employees at capitol hill as they don't make "baseball" money, nor are all children and young people "wanting to work for Wal Mart" like they want to be baseball players. You do not have to be "big to work for Wal Mart!

Subject: Bill O'reilly, I think this is worth checking out. Our soldiers should not be crapped on.
Shame on Starbucks indeed. I am against the war, not against the soldiers. "Recently Marines in Iraq wrote to Starbucks because they wanted to let them know how much they liked their coffees and to request that they send some of it to the troops there. Starbucks replied, telling the Marines thank you for their support in their business, but that Starbucks does not support the war, nor anyone in it , and that they would not send the troops their brand of coffee. So as not to offend Starbucks, we should not support them by buying any of their products. As a war vet writing to fellow patriots, I feel we should get this out in the open. I know this war might not be very popular with some folks, but that doesn't mean we don't support the boys on the ground fighting street-to-street and house-to-house for what they and I believe is right. If you feel the same as I do then pass this along, or you can discard it and no one will never know. Thanks very much for your support of me, and I know you'll all be there again when I deploy once more.

Subject: President Bush Social Security
I caught your program March 12 you guys being in favor Of President Bush Social Security Plan What do you have to say, I retired in 1998 and has lost $80,00 over the 4 years in Mutual Funds and own little stocks. All you need another attack on the United States and the retirement plan money for the future retires will be lost.
Date: 11 Mar 2005
Subject: Good Morning,
Brian, surprising enough some places today still do not have running water or indoor bathrooms. I was lucky, the last time I used ours ( on our farm) was 1962. Then my father moved us to Southern California.

Treatment Details
Teeth are surrounded by Gums and bones which are the two important structures that holds the tooth in position. If you wish to keep your natural teeth for many years keeping the gums healthy is the key.
What is Gum disease ?
Naturally our gums are pink in colour and does not bleed on normal brushing. Teeth covered by thick layer of bacteria every few hours, which is called Dental Plaque. This bacterial layer should be removed everyday by brushing, failing to do so properly will lead to gum disease. If left untreated gum disease can progress into periodontal disease which ultimately leads to loss of affected tooth.
Most of the people might have noticed yellow deposit in their teeth. This deposit called dental calculus. Dental calculus is strongly adhered to the tooth , and cannot be removed by regular brushing . It will act as a safety house for disease causing bacteria • • • •
Bleeding gums and red color gums
bad odour
sensitivity or pain
Gaps in between the tooth
loose tooth and seems to move away
When you bite , teeth fit together differently
Dentist uses special instrument knowns as ultrasonic scaler , which vibrates and remove the hard deposit from the mouth. This simple procedure can restore the gum health along with some home care from your side. More advanced form of gum disease requires special treatment like LASER therapy or deep gingival cleaning .
Brushing twice a day with right method
Flossing between teeth
Professional scaling and cleaning every 6-12 months
Keep Diabetes under control
Stop smoking if you are a smoker

Another pointless "what albums will I listen to" post. Well, I'm going to list a few albums that I haven't seen listed anywhere, so, especially if you're a metal music fan, it's for you, dear 😉
Also, sorries for the lack of activity lately, I'll be in Rome until 14th. I'm going to post some pics on my Twitter, so if you're interested, be sure to check that out.
Not every circle released XFD's yet, so the post will be updated as time goes by.
1) 凋叶棕 (Diao ye zong) – 夢
This time the theme is dreams. The albums is cut into the 2 parts – Bad and Sweet dreams. I like the Bad dream side slightly better, but – it's not like you believed the Sweet part will be that innocent, right? So far, I like it better than kakage, hisoka and motome.
Favorite tracks: バッド・ドリームズ, enemy of the society, 301
2) Adust Rain – EViL DANCE MUSIC!!
I've became a huge fan of Adust Rain lately. This album consist of remixes of the previous tracks. All of the remixes are EDM remixes, there's also two new tracks and a cover of a song from other circle, also done in the metal-edm style, if I can call it this way. Actually, I was really surprised Adust Rain chose this theme, nevertheless, I like the turn they did.
Favorite tracks: Joker's Party Anthem, CLOWNxCLOWN
3) ZYTOKINE – Ћ⊿⊿θ▽△/PLEIADES
Crossfade / Crossfade
…how am I even supposed to spell the first title?…
Anyway, the first album is a vocal-remake of the album called A SATELLITE IN THE 2ND OUTER SPACE. PLEIADES is a full itori-vocal album. I have a really hard time picking a fav from this 2. I'm really happy with both, especially because itori is my fav ZYTOKINE vocalist, very close to Nana Takahashi (or cold kiss, however you prefer).
Favorite tracks: NEXT ONE, 7days travelers
Favorite tracks: Celaeno, Alcyone, Pleione
4) FELT – Parallel Cross
This time, the first track isn't arranged by NAGI, but by MZC! I was quite surprised to see that, but it seems it's not that bad of an idea after all. And I seem to like Vivienne more and more with each song, ahah.
…also, damn, that cover is great. The position Reisen is in reminds me a bit of the first Rebirth Story cover art.
Favorite tracks: Allie, Faith, Free to Believe
5) CLOCKWORKS TRACER – Perish in Polaritia
Totally not expecting that. Anyways, what can I say – this album is simply GREAT.
Favorite tracks: Grim Redeemer, -The Deviation-, Perish In Polarity
6) Yonder Voice – 奏穹のラプソディア
This time I like tracks not sung by Yaoshan. It's a bit worse in general than Sen no Yukari, still, keeps the quality.
Favorite tracks: Cerise Night, 夏越, 玻璃の揺籠
7) 死際サテライト – 橙愛布教委員会公式賛歌 其ノ参
It's… decent. Not the same as it was with Merami and Chikage(♥), but decent.
Favorite tracks: Orange Cat
8) Pizuya's Cell – タイムパラドクシアの迷宮
Pizuya back with this damn Jazz ♥ Futoumeido's voice sounds wonderful as always, we've even got R(rrrrrr)anko!
Favorite tracks: 駆ケ落チ、タイムエスケープ, 時計の針、吐息と重なり, ノスタルジックロマンスアドベンチャー
There's two things about this album – positive is that FINALLY we've got planet of Paprika arranges ♥ negative is that it's a Hifuu album (expected a 4th Shoujo Rengoku album ;w;).
Also, this album should have a disclamer: Best to hear at night ♥
Favorite tracks: 『不思議の月の冒険譚』, 『いつかの未来よさようなら』, 『薔薇と心眼』
10) AdamKadmon – リリィ / フォレスト
So far, it's pretty hard to say anytihng about those albums. AK hasn't released any XFD, just a few tracks – ケイオス-chaos-, Deep forest 【メリー】 ~ 闇のスピードで, Poisonous Paradox, 百合は、刹那く、散りゆく涙.So far my favorite from them is Deep Forest.
Oh, btw, it seems we've already got lyrics for Poisonous Paradox.
11) EastNewSound – TragicalGarnet
Nayuta is back in ENS!! Pretty decent album in general, loving the cover art ♥♥
Favorite tracks: 崩壊の日, 一度だけの今日, 滲色血界、月狂ノ獄
12) 発熱巫女〜ず – "Everything but the Girl" Hatsunetsumiko's Dance Vocal Collection Vol.2
Liked that slightly more than the previous one. Who knows, I may even like Tim Vegas voice in the end! :')
13) Alstroemeria Records – ENGAGED DANCEHALL
Alstroemeria goes worse and worse since the POP CULTURE 4. Haruka isn't writing lyrics anymore, tracks aren't really catchy. Well, it seems we won't see the old alst anymore.

The Road Not Taken - Poem by maureg cayosa
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

We had so much fun, not only talking about GlamBox but also hanging out at the station and goofing around with Tracy and Vince.

A Visit to Shine's Barbershop in the South Bronx
It was a hot night in the South Bronx when I took to the streets with J Gutta, Hip-Hop Recording Artist from "From the Ground Up" Records, looking at spots for his music video shoot.

This clip takes you into the legendary, "This Is It" barbershop and J Gutta gives you some insight into the neighborhood, kids and gangs and more.

Another book read and another review to share – this time it's the memoir Not Really Gone by Blaire Sharp http://ow.ly/ENr0303SJXE
Blurb: "In every family there is a rock—the person that keeps things together. In Blaire Sharpe's family, that rock was her grandma. As she shares the inspiring story of her relationship with her grandma, Blaire expands on the notion of what it really means to be loved.
When she was just an infant, Blaire's troubled parents divorced. Since both parents were incapable of raising Blaire and her siblings, the children were slated for foster care—until their grandmother, Eleanor, stepped in to raise them as her own. As Eleanor valiantly struggled against a family legacy of alcoholism and depression, she modeled strength and wisdom to endure the most challenging of times. Still, Blaire's life was not perfect. As she matured into adulthood, she battled addictions that eventually led her…
