Being an orator.
Being sincere.
Being truthful.
Being an honest Malaysian politician.
Being an honest Malaysian. Period.
(watch his hands......see his fixed stare as he tries to read the idiot cards......be amazed at his awkward turns......listen to his attempt at pronouncing the word "re-invigorated"......look at that smile from 7:32......Enjoy!)

Just watched DPM speak. Very good ideas i thought. Nothing faulted i thought Pat.
Only fault i detected is that what he said is nothing new. We all know about it. If aything, BN should have thought of all that 50 over yrs ago. If they did not then at least it should have been thought of in 1969. Now, 2008, most of his vision should have been achieved.To speak of them now,i must say is about 40 yrs too late. With so many yrs wasted, the govt has to do alot more to prove to all Malaysians that they mean what they said. 50 yrs has made me too sceptical of DPM's vision. I hope I am wrong. But somehow, deep inside i have my distrust. Sounds like political talk. I hope I am wrong.

That was Mahathir's plan...5 years ago,
Retire...and appoint a yes man...and the biggest idiot...so that he can rule till the day he dies.
All backfired.

I was apprehensive about leaving a comment on the site. I thought of the Mao administration who encouraged the Chinese people to speak up and then arrested every single one who did. However, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to say something. So I left this comment on the site.
DPM, the rakyat has known this fact for many many years already. It is the politicians who insist on grouping the rakyat into "Malay, Indian, Chinese dan lain-lain". It's been 51 years since Merdeka, and hundreds of years since traders from India, Siam, Arab, Aceh, China (and the list goes on) come to this beautiful land of ours to trade. To be grouping the rakyat into Malay, Indian, Chinese dll is making a mockery of our ancestors and our rich heritage. After hundreds of years of integration, to divide us into races will be like trying to separate a piece of playdough that has been all mixed up into its original colours. Impossible to do. So, instead of wasting more money building websites and making weak PR moves, start doing what you're supposed to do. To make Malaysia for Malaysians. To improve on public transportation system, to improve on education system, to improve the standard of living for the rakyat and to ensure that we become BANGSA MALAYSIA! Everyone given equal opportunity to live and grow.

i feel nauseated throughout the video... so rehearsed (in a really bad rtm way!). It is a worthless attemp. After watching the video, it reaffirms my views on him... a dishonest, insincere liar! and the hand gestures...please, a student speaker can do better. Honestly, who actually believes anything coming from his mouth? Comments section? You need to fill up a lot of personal info! What? Don't like my comment, a police visit will follow?
- 8:17 pm
Just watching it for 40 sec. is enough for me to turn it off.
He is talking about one Malaysia and you just look what is happening now.
In other words, he is talking cock.
- 8:18 pm
Thanks Patrick for this. I felt disgusted that this message is coming from him! I think he is trying to gain popularity by jumping into the "unity" bandwagon but it is too late. How does he relate his message to his statement about bathing the keris with chinese blood???!!!

Oh I am really lost for words.Is this a joke...DPM must be an idiot to take up the Finance post after all the mess...our beloved PM has created...all that DSAI has mentioned from the oil price to the economic downturns is correct..in fact he has even feed you with the ways..and all he get is that he is the cause of the economic problem and threat to national security...
Really NIAMAH!!!X 1000 times
- 10:03 pm
This is what I posted to him>
Before you make good of the above slogan of your blog, when are you going to make good of your statement about bathing-the-keris-in-chinese-blood or apologise to the nation and forever put the issue behind us.
Before that, you don't have credibility. Whatever support you currently enjoy is derived from the gravy train. Take that away and you will be surprised to find that you don't have many true friends.
BTW, why the need for moblie no and post code? Is this blog really from you? Guess you need to catch those whose views are against you. Are you putting the intelligence services on overtime now?
You belong to the older dinosaur generation. Looks like your attempt to embrace the IT revolution will no go far unless you truly understand the need for anonymity.
You need to gain their confidence before they will reveal themselves.
Well, so far for now. Hope to receive a reply from you since you also have the time to give personal advice to Saiful.
Before I sign off, please note that 8 out of 10 people I meet these days are NOT in favour of this present government. Hope this is not a new revelation to you.
Don't know if he will put me in trouble or not but SILENCE is no more an option for me.

Haha...I couldn't stop laughing while watching this video clip. He sounds like a primary kid during a story telling event. Tonnes of pauses. Maybe I show get myself a cup of pop corn while watching it..err..wait a minute, I should not do that as I'll probably throw it all out. Yup, that's a bad idea. Economy is bad nowadays, must learn how to change my life style. One thing's for sure, our friend here needs help with his phonics.
- 10:41 pm
Fcuk, Patrick, you are right...it's a joke! Took too bugging a long time to load and then just can't fathom out what that man is trying to say. No feeling and sincerity at all. Just reading from a prepared script and failing miserably. A third-rate actor reads better!
- 11:00 pm
This his NOT a man I would trust with my future or my tax money. If he really cares for Malaysian unity he will not in the first place refer to us a Malay, Chinese, Indians.....and so on. Let him demonstrate sincerity by abolishing all laws that restrict media freedom, all racist policies, abolish the ISA, clean up corruption, reform the judiciary, practise open tenders and a transparent government and we will then decide if this man is sincere. Bikin dulu. Cakap senang.
- 11:10 pm
Good Grief!!
And DPM has a new website launched today. And on the top left side is a mangled Malaysian Flag.
Hmmm, since kickdefella blogger got ISA for upside down flag, DPM should also get ISA for the mangled Malaysia flag on his website also.

Patrick...I think you and your racists friends will be happy if only Lim Kit Siang and Karpal Singh become PM. You're a a racist and don't pretend that you're not.
No Malay PM will be good enough for you. Patrick this is a MALAYsia not CHINAasia. So simple also you don't understand you stupid or what? Patrick the more you criticise the malay leadership the malays will aggreasively protect their whatever rights. Talk so much cock also no uselah.

just 1 frank comment...at least doing something is still better than doing nothing...
look at it this way.. it is not a matter of balls of steel by hiding behind a pseudonym and start condemning the government..
if everyone get locked up in ISA, who then is going to blog and dare to blog with a real name? The govt doesnt need to show balls of steel. They only need to show arms of steel and all of us have to kow tow whether we like it or not.. sooner or later, every known (i said known) blogger will be jailed...
then the simple question is who then is going to stand up to fight for justice? be it blog or no blog or whatever the means can be...
sometimes, it is not that we are chicken and we hide behind a pseudonym but it is a matter of strategical intellect...
i remember once watching the movie, godfather. the corleoni elder brother once said, dont show ur true self else others would know your next move.

If any of us are racist then it is because the politicians made the policies such from primary to tertiary level.
Why should anyone go to spore to make a living just because u say so? Why, you think you are our mother/father giving us advice ah.
I am malaysian la, no need to know which race la. If i want to hang around in malaysia and do nothing, aiyah, it is my right la.
Actually, what makes you think people only want a non malay as PM? Must say you assumed it la. If the constitution wont allow it then we can always hv a malay pm ma. Whats your problem? We only want a smart , honest pm la. If it is malay then malay la. But why you so against a non malay pm? You think you more racist than me ah?

well said. all we want is a competent, fair and clean PM. everything else is secondary.
i once have lots of respect for badawi with his platform of reformation of judiciary, police force and corrupt-free administration. Gosh, for freaking 5 years, what reform was there. And corruption and crime rate went from bad to worse.
So, whats wrong with us not to support BN anymore.

I have only 1 wish for Malaysia ie there is no race differences in this beautiful country - OUR LAND.
Underneath our skin, no matter what race you belong to, our blood is red in colour, we have just a few blood group... there is no such thing as Malays will have Group A, Indian will have Group B and Chinese will have Group O.
I would like to see Abdullah Badawi or any other leaders understand what race is all about.
In the eyes of God, we are all one race, we are all known as HUMAN RACE.

Thank you for your effort Patrick, to post the whole length of video, by my system can only stomach the first 4minutes, before I had to look for vomit bag.
"While I may not agree with you in your views, rest assured, your views will be heard"...aiyoo...the last time someone rest assured, she rested in peace...(or maybe not, but I'm sure Najib would insist she did).
And why is he going on and on about democracy when clearly, the BN have been practicing KLEPTOCRACY (Please google this word via WIKIPEDIA, trust me, you will agree with the term)..or type http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleptocracy. For those who are just too lazy, let me spoon feed you:
"A kleptocracy (sometimes cleptocracy, occasionally kleptarchy) (root: klepto+kratein = rule by thieves) is a term applied to a government that extends the personal wealth and political power of government officials and the ruling class (collectively, kleptocrats) at the expense of the population. A kleptocratic government often goes beyond mere cronyism and nepotism, or awarding the prime contracts and civil service posts to relatives or personal friends rather than the most competent applicants. They also create projects and programs at a policy level which serve the primary purpose of funneling money out of the treasury and into the pockets of the executive with little if any regard for the logic, viability or necessity of those projects."
There you go..Malaysia run by Kleptomaniacs...and they wonder why they lost the 2/3 majority last GE...and still in denial...
Another reason why I cannot finish watching the video, is that I get distracted by the amount of saliva, thick and sticky prancing around between the corners of his lips, to the other (or was that the asshole he was talking thru never know, they both are the ends of the gastrointestinal tract, dunno which is which with these politicians)...He can't even get a hold of his own saliva, how on earth is he going to get hold of this country?

1. Jungle Book is Najib's favourite cartoon and hence influenced (not his fault - we all impressionable).
2. Walt could see into the future and used what he saw to model his characters.
3. Najib has lousy PR consultants - he's actually an inspirational guy.
Let's hope it's No. 3.

To the anonymous at 1.49am
I just wonder how you define racist. According to your defination is that Ahmad from Bukit Bendera a racist?We are Malaysian, why should we settle in China or Singapore? We love malaysia, we want Malaysia to be a heaven for all Malaysian. My understanding of Patrick is his blog and his writing is toward this Vision. We are not objecting to Malay or anybody to be the PM, but we want a brilliant Malaysian that can take care of all races fairly and without prejudice to any malaysian take charge of Malaysia. The wanting of Lim Kit Siang or Kapal to become the PM is something that your try to force into Patrick mouth. I am disappointed at your maturity in your sense of logic. Patrik all this while was just highlighting what has been published in the newspaper. It is up to you to judge how good is our PM, our TPM, our Minister.......Foe example, Ahmad made a statement, he admitted he made that statement, the reporter reported that statement, the minister used ISA to arrest the reporter. It is a big fumble. To cover himself "we need her to help in the investigation" " we want to protect her life" " I didn't instruct the police" " It is a government decision" OK you comment on this, who is racist? In this case I don't even care whether Ahmad is a Malay, a Chinese or an Indian. I feel ashame (mind you all our neighbouring countries are watching)when I meet my foreign friend. I want to be a proud Malaysian, I want to hold my head high high, but can I tell me can I. This has nothing to do with being racist or not. Tiew Nia Seng.

Know the Difference: Transition, not Handover.
For the moment, the UMNO leadership crisis appears to have been averted with the announcement of the cabinet portfolio swap between Prime Minister Dato' Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and his Deputy Dato' Seri Najib Tun Razak. As recently as last week, analysts and commentators were anticipating Najib to make a move on the Presidency before the year's end. And why would they not? After UMNO Vice President Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin rekindled the debate about Abdullah's position, Najib appeared to position himself for an assault on the post when he remarked that the divisions should decide for themselves when the transition should occur – essentially informing that he was more than ready to receive nominations for the post of Party President.
But with the portfolio swap, Najib may not see a need to gun for the Presidency – and by implication Premiership of the country – so soon. Notwithstanding the fact that a transition of power is, as Abdullah quipped, a process and not something carried out overnight, Abdullah must be credited for such a bold move. Skeptics have characterised it as a calculated political decision to neutralise any potential threat from Najib. Political considerations there definitely were, but by paving the way for Najib to take helm of the Ministry of Finance, Abdullah has also demonstrated magnanimity and sincerity to groom his successor for the top job in 2010.
Being Prime Minister with little experience in managing the country's economy will likely prove a mammoth task for anyone. And as it turns out, Najib is no ordinary figure with an ordinary past. With ample ammunition for the Opposition to take aim at his credibility – the SAS (Sukoi, Altantunya, Submarine) scandals spring to mind as illustrations – a Najib administration could use a head-start in spearheading economic recovery at a time when global financial uncertainty is affecting countries in this region, too.. It is further also to Najib's convenience that the Budget for the year 2009 has just been announced with much of the implementation left for him to oversee. As such, Najib does not have the baggage of others' inefficiency to contend with – a prevalent concern whenever an economic plan is carried out.
As things, at least for the time being, cool down with regards to any contest for the Presidency of UMNO, it would be interesting to see Tun Dr.. Mahathir's next move. Commanding a yet formidable following, his end-game for quite a while now is to unseat Abdullah as Prime Minister. His peculiar friendships with Tengku Razaleigh, Muhyiddin and Najib are telling – those individuals are all nothing more than instruments to his ultimate goal: the downfall of Abdullah.
Ultimately, Abdullah's supporters will hope that the PM's move will be repaid with loyalty by Najib. Even to many who may not be Abdullah's biggest fans are wary of the damage that an open contest will cause the party. Even they would gladly take two more years of Abdullah over the prospect of an internal split that will likely occur should we witness a repeat of the embarrassment suffered by the late Tun Ghafar Baba at the hands of a ruthless Machiavellian by the name of Anwar Ibrahim.

I thought everyone here including the Malays here is waiting of Anwar Ibrahim to take over the premiership? Well, DSAI sure look like a Malay, sounds like a Malay, and even pray like a Malay.
Are you saying he is not good enough for you? Looks like you're the one who prefer a non-Malay for the PM post more than we do. So, I rest my case, and take a rest just in case, your wish come true.

Usually, but not always, these puzzles use heavy bars instead of black squares to separate words on the same line. These bars usually hold to the cryptic crossword convention that there can be unchecked letters, but not two of them in a row in the same word.
What makes them "variety" is that there is often some extra trick, the gimmick of that particular puzzle. Sometimes you have to drop letters out of certain entries (or all of them) in order to fit them into the grid. Other times there may be more unusual gimmicks.
Sometimes the puzzle comes with instructions about the gimmick. Other times you'll be told some entries must be modified to fit them into the grid, but you will have to figure out how the modifications work. When there are modified grid entries, sometimes the word lengths will be withheld in order to hide the changed answers better. However, you'll usually be told if any answers are multiple words, hyphenated, etc., and the instructions may comment on the number of changed grid entries which are proper nouns, multi-word phrases, etc.

26 – The number of licensed commercial banks in Uganda. Not a terrible statistic considering that only one commercial has been closed down in the last five years. The Commercial Bank of Africa (CBA) and Finance Trust Bank are the latest entrants in Uganda's commercial banking scene. More recently, Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) acquired a 70percent stake in Fina Bank. (I'll write about the prospects for GTBank in Uganda next time)
Finance Trust Bank is not entirely new to Uganda's banking scene. Founded in 1984, Finance Trust Bank started as a microfinance institution until December 2013. Its focus: providing affordable to mainly women. It is, rather was, not a small microfinance. It boasts of 35 branches. The transition into commercial banking means that Finance Trust Bank made the baby steps just like Centenary Bank – Uganda's 5th largest bank by assets – did.
FTB with its current figures of Ushs43bn in customer deposits, Ushs58bn loan book and assets of Ushs91bn, will have its work cut out in the commercial banking segment. In customer deposits, it comes at number 20. On the size of the loan book it is ranked 18, just above United Bank of Africa (UBA). With its assets of Shs91bn, we can ideally say, FTB is now Uganda's 19thlargest bank out of 26. In 2012, the bank also recorded after tax profit of Shs1.5bn, which would have placed it in 17th position. These numbers considering that it already has 30 branches, means it has already spent on some start-up costs and will not have to go through the cycle again.
|Prof Mutebile, BoU Governor & Irene Muloni (Chairperson FTB) Picture from New Vision
The broader challenge however is managing to keep its customers happy, with attractive interest rates especially for micro-lenders who have grown with it over the years. Centenary Bank has managed to do this. When Equity Bank of Kenya acquired Uganda Microfinance Limited in 2008, some branches in rural areas were closed. They were not making money for the bank. It was hemorrhaging money on administration costs. Moral of the story: Commercial banking can be similar to microfinance but it is not the same thing.
Commercial banking comes with more demands, expectations and survival. To begin with, FTB managers have to make sure the capital base of the bank remains above Shs25bn – the regulatory requirement – and also "innovative" [find ways of being more predatory] if they're to sustainably grow. To shore up its capital base, the bank apparently had to seek some international funders to buy some stake in the bank, but to sustain this level of capital – or more – the bank will have to make money.
It is a whole new ball game for them. What advantage does FTB have over other banks? Irene Muluni the Board Chairperson, FTB says, "Most banks are in urban areas, which gives us the opportunity to go for rural women."
FTB is a majority Ugandan owned bank. This we should be proud of as "locally owned banks" have been in short supply. Ugandan organizations – mostly women organizations – own 55.4percent of the bank. Only Centenary Bank and Crane Bank have above this local ownership threshold. Interestingly, Annet Nakawunde Mulindwa, the FTB CEO is only the second female CEO of a commercial bank in Uganda.
With all this bloom, will FTB making formal banking more attractive. A 2013 Finiscope study on Financial Inclusion [I have a hard copy of this report if you need it] indicates that between 2009 and 2013, the percentage of adult Ugandans with access to a formal bank had declined by 1percent to 20percent. This, even after the increasing number of commercial banks in the country. The same report indicates that the percentage of Ugandans saving with a commercial bank had fallen to 19percent in 2013 from 21percent in 2009. Additionally, the number of Ugandans accessing credit in a bank rose – marginally – from 5percent in 2009 to 6percent in 2013.
FTB will however be boosted by the fact that 73percent of borrowers – both formal and informal – take up small loans of Shs500,000 and 14percent taking up about Shs1,000,000. Since the FTB's focus will be those Ugandans in rural areas, then they could succeed. Considering its focus to encouraging women entrepreneurship and financing, it could also help increase the percentage of women with access to formal banking services.
However, when FTB was a microfinance institution, it was also in the formal banking category and the numbers as we've seen have been stagnant. What will it do differently? We'll wait and see.

The Great Lakes Brewing Company
The first craft brewery in Ohio, Great Lakes Brewing Company (GLBC) has been creating award-winning lagers and ales for 25 years. When brothers Daniel and Patrick Conway opened the doors in 1988, GLBC was a small microbrewery committed to creating bold, flavorful beers. Now, 25 years later, Great Lakes Brewing Company far surpasses their original microbrewery status producing more than 130,000 barrels annually in 13 states – as far as Minnesota and North Carolina.
Recently, GLBC was the only Ohio brewery to be included on The Daily Meal's "Top 25 American Craft Breweries." As most celebrated microbrewery in the state, GLBC has strong ties to the local community and showcases this commitment by naming each of its 14 year-around and seasonal beers after local historical events, people and places. This "Exceptional Family of Beers" includes Dortmunder Gold, Eliot Ness, Burning River, Commodore Perry and Edmund Fitzgerald. And, of course, there's also the seasonal favorite "Christmas Ale" that flies off the shelves faster than the holiday season's most popular toy.
In keeping with their commitment to innovation and in celebration of their silver anniversary, GLBC took on the task of brewing a beer replicating the methods and ingredients used 5,000 years ago by monks. The efforts to combine modern technology and centuries-old techniques have caught the attention of not only the beer-making world, but also The New York Times and major papers around the world.
Guests can tour GLBC's six brewery buildings, peruse the gift shop (and perhaps take home a six-pack of their favorites), and pull up a seat at the Victorian-era brewpub where visitors will find farm-fresh favorites and comfort food classics like pierogi and pork chops.

Speaking Tuesday morning on Fox News, hours after the previous night's presidential debate, GOP candidate Donald Trump wondered why debate moderator Lester Holt had failed to ask Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton about her email scandal, among other things.
"He didn't ask her about her emails," Trump said. "He didn't ask her about her scandals. He didn't ask her about the Benghazi deal that she destroyed. He didn't ask her about a lot of things she should have been asked about."
"You know, there's no question about it," he continued. "He didn't ask her about her foundation. Why?"

TRENDING: Ellison Is Done: 911 Report Confirms Assault Details and We've Got the Report
Great question, and to it, we could add: Why did Holt instead focus his questions on Trump's taxes, as well as his opposition to the Iraq War and his previously made claims that President Barack Obama had not been born in the United States?
Also, why did he argue with Trump?
Advertisement - story continues below
"Holt didn't just 'fact-check' Trump, he argued with the businessman, something he did not do with Hillary — even after she lied," noted The Daily Wire.
Two words immediately come to mind: media bias.
NBC stooge Lester Holt purposefully directed the debate in a direction that was advantageous to Clinton but damaging to Trump because of clear-cut media bias.
Simply put, he showed up at Hofstra University with the intention of making certain that Clinton performed better than Trump — and in a way, he succeeded.
Yet at the same time, he didn't. Holt's own performance provided Americans with a picture-perfect glimpse of what media bias looked like. Likewise, Clinton's snarky attitude and smug grins made her look like a first-class elitist, pompous to the core.

Trump's performance, on the other hand, was rough on the edges but at least sincere, a trait that Holt and Clinton clearly knew nothing about.

According to the Associated Press, and the Sacramento Bee, the California Court of Appeals has ordered the infamous Pelican Bay, to cease all race-based punishments with the exception of a riot or other emergency. The order came down on January 23rd.
Three Judges ruled unanimously, that the prison had to explore methods of controlling violence and substance abuse, other than long term segregation of ethnic groups. The ruling comes out of a 2010 lawsuit in which the plaintiff claimed that Pelican Bay had refused privileges to all Hispanic inmates, for 3 years, after a riot between the Northern and Southern Mexican gangs.
The California Department of Corrections counters that the 2 groups are at war, and need to be segregated from one another. Further, they claim that the only method of segregation is based on "validating" inmates as gang members, and that that has…

What are the pros? Showy and heat resistant:)!
What are the cons? None
Sprinkled these around and forgot about them. When I saw they were going to be tall I moved a bunch all along the back of beds and they were gorgeous and unphased by the move and went on to tower over phlox and grow up through roses. Produced continuous multi branched soft torch looking blossoms 3-5" tall. The branches were interesting, too, some tinted light green, etc. Bloomed all summer and were at their peak by Fall- 3-4' tall and in blazing sun. A sure fire winner:)! Very easy. The neighbors all asked about them, the darker the flower the darker the stem/leaved and vice versa.

What are the pros? self-seeds, colors, unusual
What are the cons? start indoors for center plume
Living in zone 5/6 your plants will reseed, but if you want the big center plume you will need to start them indoors. My self-seeded plants had many side branches (5' tall) or had a few side branches and one undersized center plume (2' tall). Also, about the colors: most of the time the colors of the plants are magenta and yellow; however, I had one fire-engine-red, a couple whitish, but never any orange.
9 out of 11 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? I really like these colors!!!
What are the cons? nope.
I only planted half of the packet of the very tiny seeds. Placing about four to six plants to the west ends of the onions and bush beans rows, and here and there among the cucumber plantings. I thought they would be taller. I was glad they germinated in our climate! So only getting five inches wide and from ten inches tall to four feet tall, they completely took center stage catching the sunlight in colors of orange, magenta, flame red, yellow, and chartreuse green looking like stained glass growing in the garden. I couldn't bring myself to eat them- they were too beautiful! I got the most comments from visitors about these pampas plume mixed of all the plants in this section. Only the frost took away their show. So, I guess I have found another "must have" for my collection, and will plant many more of these in the future. I highly recommend trying these for some excitement in the veggie garden!
7 out of 8 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? ez, pretty, yummy, self-sows
What are the cons? needs heat to start growing
These are my favorite in the garden. There is a central stalk about 3-5'h in excellent soil. In the center there is a large center flower and radiating from the stem are a lot of branches that work really well as a filler in a floral arrangement. See photo above, though none of my flowers were baby pink. The colors are usually bright yellow, crimson red, or magenta pink. Self-seeds freely. Delicious leaves raw or cooked.
8 out of 10 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? Easy to grow.
I'm usually not great at growing flowers. I opened the flower packet and just threw the seeds on then ground, covered them up and hoped for the best. These flowers are gorgeous and came up fast! Visitors to our homestead are wowed by the vibrant colors. I will be growing these flowers every year!

January 29th, 2010 English Bulldog News officially opened online. What was once an idea to make a fun place for English Bulldog owners to get together and share their information soon blossomed into something so much more. It became a staple of the site for us to help each other, not to critisize or be rude. This was something I found was an everyday occurrence at other forums. The brilliant part of it is that so many come here not just to post problems, so many come here to try to help others. With all the fun events, fundraisers, and site additions I must tell you I am beyond proud to be a part of something so wonderful. Any time I am having a bad day, I just need to go here and see how EBN makes a difference.
I would like to thank not only the members who log in each day to share their bully love, but also our Staff Members who dedicate so much of their time and energy helping me make EBN what it is. All of you make EBN a dream come true for us and so many others who are seaking help and support.
Looking Back at 2012
As I look back at 2012 I smile to think of all the folks out there that got the help they needed, and I mourn the loss of so many of our beloved bulldogs. There has been so many emotional ups and downs. As we continue to become closer to each other and our friendships grow we share something very special. It is hard to see your friends mourn tragic losses, but to help them through their pain and grief is moving. At the same time, it is wonderful to see members share their great news and wonderful stories. To those who are new to our forum, I do hope you stick around, because you have just met the most amazing group of bulldog lovers on the planet!!
This year our Hospice Sponsorship Program grew to four bulldogs, together we make it possible to support 4 bulldogs with food and prescriptions. This is such a wonderful program. Again, it started as an idea but grew with the support and love from our members.
Our Rescue Auctions/Fundraisers last year raised a total of $5,550+ for our Bulldog Rescues. What a great accomplishment, we hope to beat that this year! Our bulldog rescues need our help so hopefully you will all bid high!
Here is to another year of English Bulldog News! Cheers!

Almost everyone went through their awkward years during adolescence. But those are usually times they're not eager to return to, and certainly not eager to share with the world via Twitter or Facebook. Not everybody is Rashida Jones, though, who shared her love of her own awkward teen photos with "Conan."
"The braces, like, perm hair, turtleneck combo? That's not, I think, not that sexy," Jones said of one of her tweeted pictures as Conan O'Brien showed it to his audience.
O'Brien matched her, though, pulling out one of his own embarrassing pics. "You're way cooler than I am. The awkwardness factor is not high for you," she determined.
It may be easier to look back at some of the more awkward moments of development when Jones has clearly moved beyond them. She looks absolutely stunning in this recent Flaunt magazine photo shoot.
Rashida Jones can be seen every Thursday on "Parks & Recreation" at 9:30 p.m. ET on NBC. "Conan" airs weeknights at 11 p.m. ET on TBS.

Grad School:To Go Or Not To Go? That is the Question
And like that brotha' Hamlet, it's something to seriously ponder. Getting a master's degree is a wonderful achievement, no doubt. But is it right for you? I know it's blasphemous to discourage furthering education (i.e. I won't be telling my father about this article.) However, it's important to really evaluate your reasons for returning to school before you spend your precious time and money getting another degree. If you have the luxury of going to grad school just because you love learning, you can skip the rest of this article. However, if you are going to graduate school to improve your financial situation there's a cost/benefit analysis you should probably do. Real talk. I'll use myself as a cautionary tale.
A few years back, I made the decision to go grad school. I applied to a prestigious private university and got in. Woo Hoo! THEN, I got the bill for tuition and I almost fell out. Over $40,000 a year and that didn't include living expenses. I had serious doubts about going into that kind of debt, but I was honored to be admitted so I threw caution to the wind and went for it. Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed my time in school. I met wonderful people, had great experiences, and immersed myself in learning skills that I love. I also figured with my Ivy League education, I'd have higher earning potential. However, the truth is that I've had difficulty finding high-paying work and have accrued an obscene amount of student loan debt. I loved graduate school, but if I had fully understood the financial situation that I was getting myself into, I may not have gone.
Here are some things to think about before you make the decision to get that master's degree.

The Lérida province of Catalonia is home to vast orchards and olive groves and so every Saturday Balaguer's arcaded square is transformed into a bustling market of fabulous local produce. The archways afford some shade and protection from the searing sun, but still the perfume of ripe peaches warmed by the all-pervasive heat is unforgettable.
6 ripe peaches
1 bottle rosé wine
5 tbsp caster sugar
1 vanilla pod, split in half lengthways
2 large peelings of lemon zest
Start by skinning the peaches. If they are truly ripe, you can cover them with boiling water for about 30 seconds. The skin should slip off easily rather like a tomato skin. Firmer fruit will need to be simmered for three to four minutes until the skins slide off.
Halve the peaches and carefully remove the stones.
Pour the wine into a large pan that will accommodate all your peaches and add the sugar, vanilla pod and lemon zest. Add the peaches together with just enough water to cover them and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes. Remove the peaches from the wine syrup and set aside.
Now boil the wine syrup until it reduces to a thick, sticky syrup. Remove the vanilla pod and lemon zest. Serve the peaches covered in the fabulously aromatic syrup.

(Schenectady, NY) - T.J. Powers scored his first collegiate goal and Pat Knowlton and Matt Gingera scored their first goals of the season, but Kelly Zajac scored four times as the #19 Union Dutchmen beat the Sacred Heart Pioneers 7-3 Saturday night at Messa Rink.
Jeremy Welsh put Union on the board first at the 5:04 mark, before Zajac made it 2-0 a little more than two minutes later with his first goal of the night at the 7:24 mark. However, Knowlton responded by trimming the lead in half, cutting to the slot off a drop pass from Eric DeLong an scoring on a wrist-shot at the 14:01 mark of the first. After Zajac scored again on the power-play at the 15:56 mark to give the Dutchmen another two-goal cushion, Sacred Heart answered with a power-play goal of its own. Powers scored his first collegiate goal on a wrist-shot from the right faceoff circle on a sharp pass from Dave Berube at the 18:07 mark. It appeared the Pioneers tied the game moments later when Anthony Yelovich knocked in a rebound with 1:22 left in the period, but the goal was disallowed because of a h and pass.
Sacred Heart did tie the game when Gingera crashed the net and tucked a rebound off a shot by Bryan Felice inside the post 3:21 into the second. However, the Pioneers took three penalties within five minutes, and Union capitalized. Zajac earned the hat trick with a power-play goal just 16 seconds into their power play at 4:15 of the second to take the lead for good. Greg Coburn followed that with a power play goal just 14 seconds into the man advantage at 6:09 of the second to give Union a 5-3 lead. Wayne Simpson added a third unanswered goal on the power play at 9:30 of the third, as Union finished 4-7 on the man advantage. Zajac scored his fourth of the night at 16:58 of the third.
The Pioneers are next in action when they begin conference play by hosting Canisius Oct. 22 and 23 at the Milford Ice Pavilion.

green vest - one's lv (buy here)

black jeans - bershka
watch - daniel wellington (buy here)
sunglasses - zero uv
np: O.Torvald – Time
Long time no see, right? Quite a big break on my blog, but who would blame me for that, if it was so cold these days?:) Now it's almost spring and I have no excuse for not posting anymore. So, here I am with a new post finally.
Clean and simple outfit with a green vest that added some pop of color to the whole dark look. This vest is definitely a piece that will add an extra edge to your everyday style - combine it with different shirts, sweaters, turtlenecks, dresses, t-shirts.. everything, practically! I think it will look great with white sneakers especially, and I will wear this combination as soon as real spring comes!
And when it comes to accessories, my favorite one is definitely a watch. The new one in my collection is a black watch from Daniel Wellington. I'm sure you'll see it not once here on my blog and on my Instagram, as I fell in love with its 40mm size and the strap. By the way, you can use "poberezhna15" code to get your 15% discount on danielwellington.com till 15.03.2017

Before You Remodel: 6 Tile Trends You Should Know
I have see the future of tile and it makes me want to renovate my bathroom or kitchen…again. At Cersaie last month, which is *the* bath and tile show, I had a chance to see lots and lots and lots of examples of what's next in that world. Here are some of the trends I saw:
5 Times White Walls Made Us Swoon
White paint doesn't always get the respect it deserves. Too often it's considered a default, or a color for people who can't pick a color.
But white is consistently voted the 'most popular' and 'most likely to succeed' member of the color spectrum. And in so many cases, it's white that allows other colors to pop. As Maxwell says, "A good white wall is like a nice formal dress shirt – it's the perfect foundation. It holds the space of the room while directing attention to the art and the furnishings." Here are five beautiful rooms that show that white paint is the hero we've been waiting for.
5 Creative Ways to Decorate Your Child's Room
Creating a room that your children would love has benefits. They will look forward to sleeping in their own rooms and they will be less afraid of the "monsters under the bed" at night.
We often think that a pretty room can only be achieved by means of a weekend paint job or some major renovation, but with little creativity, some art materials, and a nail or two—you can turn a bare bedroom into a whimsical space that's reminiscent of a fairy tale setting. Consider these ideas:
7 Steps For Renovating Your Home
The wallpaper is peeling off, the floor tiles are cracked and the kitchen sink is leaking. It's time for a makeover – time to renovate your home. But how to start the big project if you haven't done anything similar before? How much will it cost? How long will it take? How do you prevent a massive failure? And what needs to be done?
Today, we introduce you to the challenge of renovating your home the right way. We give seven useful tips so that you can comfortably tackle the big project.
Up, out or under: what sort of extension is right for you?
Figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed building approvals for home renovations in totalled $6.35 billion in 2012 – or around $500 million every month. So chances are you, or someone you know, will be thinking of extending up, out or under – or giving your home a makeover at some point.
To renovate or not to renovate?
These days more and more people are considering renovating.
Without doubt it has great rewards, both personal and financial. Yet on the other hand renovations can lead to overspending and little to no profit come sale day.
There are a magnitude of reasons why this can happen: market shift, blowing your budget, or not allowing for a monetary buffer for when things go wrong in unexpected areas. To combat this, it is vital to scope out your potential project before you commit.
8 Important Things You Learn When You Restore An Old Home
Here are the important lessons we learned during the renovating process:
5 hot apps for home renovations
Forget the hammer and tape measure – sail through your next home renovation project with one of these handy apps on your smart phone or tablet.
Where to save & where to splurge when renovating
One of the first things to consider when styling a space is to find the hero, or focal point.
It may be the sofa, the mirror above the mantel, or an amazing rug. You can apply the same law when planning a renovation.

Armchair Matchmaker: 'UFC on Fox: Johnson vs. Dodson' Edition
(Well, that might explain the spray tan, at least. Photo courtesy of Getty Images.)
It's safe to say that the UFC's latest trip to the land of major network television succeeded in exceeding most of our expectations. For starters, the event pulled in much higher viewership numbers than most pundits of the sport (and apparently the UFC's marketing department) ever believed a card topped off by a flyweight fight could do. The fact that the card delivered exciting finishes and entertaining brawls from top to bottom further cemented our belief that the UFC has truly started to hit their stride with Fox. Not that we ever doubted them, but things were looking hairy for a while there *thinks back to UFC on Fox 2, shudders*.
But today, we must gather up last weekend's results like a herd of slaughtered bison, take to our (ban)wagons, and forge ahead to the river of subjectivity that is the armchair matchmaker (Oregon Trail metaphors. They're like, so in right now.). So join us after the jump as we breakdown what is next for some of Saturday's biggest winners.
Demetrious Johnson: Challenger John Dodson might have brought the pop rocks to his first ever UFC title fight, but Demetrious Johnson surely brought the coke. And by coke, I mean cocaine. Because Johnson fights like he's on…you know what, forget it. The Tazmanian Devil-esque tornado of takedowns known as "Mighty Mouse" is truly something to behold when he enters the octagon, combining a limitless gas tank with a simple will to survive that is unmatched by 90% of his MMA counterparts, flyweight or otherwise.Read More DIGG THIS

This is the revolutionary "Street Converter" that came from research and development of off-road competition. These converters offer a slightly higher stall speed that would allow greater torque bands at medium and high-speeds and increased lock-up at higher rpm ranges. In addition, there's an increase in fuel mileage at cruise speed. The 10" converter is recommended for vehicles in excess of 450 HP—thus, named heavy-duty "Super Torque Converter". You'll get 52 extra horsepower over stock converters with the HD Super Torque converter.
Please note, these torque converters have a full 90-day warranty and are guaranteed against defective workmanship for two full years from purchase date. After 90 days, for two years, California Performance Transmissions will completely repair or replace, at its option, at a cost in relationship to the original cost of the torque converter. Standard repair will be $225.00

Taylor Swift needs to stop singing about heartbreaks, get a notepad and pay attention because Diane von Furstenberg is teaming up with match.com and giving you tips on how to get a man. Given that she married prince Egon von Furstenberg and then a media mogul, Diane definitely knows her stuff so listen to what she has to say to Huffington Post:
That's all great, but what happen after a few dates? How do you keep a guy? Well, let me finish Diane's tips, I say you call and text the crap out of him in baby babble. Unless you get a restraining order, you ain't calling or texting him enough! Forget about making him a dinner of his favorite food and give him back rubs, that makes you his Grade A SERVANT, not his Grade A Wifey!
And if he dumps you then go with Ivana Trump's motto: "Don't get mad, get everything".

You are My Wild — Great Kid Photography That'll Inspire Your Own At-Home Photos
When you were a kid, having a camera in front of you was just a little less scary. You probably didn't even notice it was there most of the time.
It's that enviable carefree 'tude kids have that makes taking portraits of them so much fun.
That's just what You are My Wild is all about. 14 photographers document how they see their kids by submitting one remarkable portrait each week.
Meaghan Curry explains how it started:
Right after the new year, and in sort of a creative lull, we were brainstorming about starting a project to force ourselves to put down our phone cameras down and pick up our other cameras more regularly…
Ironically, Instagram is the common thread between us. It is where we found other people documenting their children in really loving, beautiful and respectful ways.
We hoped that some of these other IG photographers would be interested in using their higher quality cameras to "see" the same way that we were using our phone cameras.
And it seems to have worked! Check out their portraits, and may they inspire you to photograph your loved ones in a new light.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Following its 2-0 win at No. 3 Princeton on Sunday, Syracuse (9-0) is ranked No. 1 in the country for the first time since 2008 in the NFHCA Coaches' Poll released on Tuesday.
The Orange had been ranked No. 2 for three consecutive weeks following its 1-0 overtime win against then-No. 2 North Carolina on Sept. 1.
"It is a nice recognition from the coaching community," head coach Ange Bradley said. "It is an honor to what we have done so far this season, but it is not where you start, it is where you finish. That is our motto and focus this year."
