American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA):
Bureau of Special Education
May 21, 2009
In order to apply for ARRA funds, the Governor
must provide USDE with written assurances that CT
has addressed and will continue to improve upon:
ARRA Goals
Connecticut's recommended four priority categories
Expanded learning time
Professional development/technical assistance
Increased capacity
Direct services to students and parents
Aligned with the three State Board of Education priorities:
High quality preschool education for all
High academic achievement for all students in reading, writing, mathematics, and science
High school reform, so all students graduate and are prepared for lifelong learning and careers in a competitive, global economy
Three primary sources of ARRA funds are available to states:
SourceCT's Award
*Distributed at discretion of Secretary of Education
New Considerations:
New Considerations – cont.
(Individuals with Disabilities Education Act)Ages 3-21 (611) and Preschool (619)
Purpose and Use of Funds
1. 50% Maintenance Of Effort (MOE) Adjustment Strategy
2. Local and/or State Funds Exceed MOE Strategy
3. 15 % Coordinated Early Intervening Services Strategy
With certain exceptions, Part B funds must not be used by a district to reduce the level of expenditures for the education of children with disabilities made by the district from local funds below the level of those expenditures for the preceding year
U.S. Department of Education
Office of Special Education Programs
Building the Legacy : Retrieved March 23, 2009 from http://www.ed.gov/results.html?cx=017789009494528204701%3Auzmeqn9qqxo&cof=FORID%3A9&hq=-archived%3A&ie=UTF-8&q=Fiscal+Accountability#884
If an LEA maintains (or exceeds) its level of local, or state and local, expenditures for special education and related services from year to year (in this case 2008-09 to 2009-2010), either in total or per capita, then the IDEA (standard and/or ARRA) funds are, in fact, supplementing those local, or state and local, expenditures and the LEA has met its maintenance of effort (MOE) and supplement/not supplant requirements.
Office of Special Education Programs' indicates that unless an LEA has been identified as "Meet Requirements" on its IDEA Determinations of the State Performance Plan, it is prohibited from reducing its MOE under IDEA section 613(a)(2)(C) for the fiscal year in which it did not achieve the "Meets Requirements" category.
Maintenance of Effort Sample Calculation:
Use of 50% of the difference between fiscal year allocations
[(B + C) – A] X 50% = $2.1 M Increase $2.1M
over 2009
D – (B + C) = -$3.8M ($0) No increase over 2010
Special Education
Special Education
Local Operating Budget FY 2010
Total $9.0 M (
Total $6.9M
Meets 2010 MOE requirement of $9.0M
Local Operating Budget FY 2011
(Level Funded)
Total $6.9M
Meets 2011 MOE requirement of $6.9M
If you are going to offset your local budget by 50% of the increase and use the CEIS allowance, check the rules related to the use of CEIS funds.
If local/state special education costs in 2009-2010 exceed costs in 2008-2009, the Board can reduce its special education budget by that excess amount and use these local/state funds for non-special education personnel, services and activities without considering it supplanting.
For example:
Board's expenditures from state/local funds in 2008-09 equal $1,000,000.
Board's expenditures from state/local funds in 2009-2010 equal $1,200,000.
The Board can reduce its special education budget for 2009-2010 to $1,000,000 and meet the MOE requirement.
The Board can take the $200,000 difference and use it for non-special education expenditures.
Utilizing the $200,000 to support the local budget does not impact MOE as occurs in Strategy 1.
Districts may use up to 15% of IDEA Part B (also the ARRA) funds to develop and provide CEIS for students who are currently not identified as needing special education.
However, those districts that disproportionately , by race, identify, place and/or suspend/expel students, cannot choose to use this strategy as the State is required to direct these districts funds for specific use to address these issues.
Each district that implements CEIS must report to the CT State Department of Education on:
the number of children who received CEIS and
the number of those children who subsequently received special education and related services under Part B during the subsequent two-year period (i.e. the two years after receiving CEIS).
this is reported on the district's IDEA grant application under Section 5

Below are seven practical ideas and suggestions about time off, fresh from the farm gate.
1. Make time off a business goal
You are your farm's most valuable asset. A serious commitment to health and wellbeing should be part of your business plan.
"When we set our farm ownership goal five years ago, we decided we wanted to enjoy life on the way and enjoy our children. We added a couple of years to the time it would take us to get there, but it has given us more time to appreciate the things that really matter instead of just being focused on farming all the time." Female share milker, 30–39, Southland
"On the last day of your holiday, plan and book your next break off the farm." Male beef/sheep owner, 40–49, Hawkes Bay
2. Plan your break and time it right
Many farming activities are seasonal, so plan your breaks accordingly. Peak times – like calving, lambing and harvest times – are obviously super busy, so you'll need to schedule breaks at other times of the year.
"Go in the winter. Talk to other farmers in the area and find someone in a similar situation. Over winter you should be able to run both farms easily." Female share milker, 30–39, Southland
"Plan early, so labour can be arranged. Don't wait until you need the break." Male beef/sheep farmer, 50–59, Poverty Bay/East Coast
3. Trust your staff, train them up
Passing on knowledge and skills and having well-documented systems that others can follow are the cornerstones of a successful, sustainable business.
"Give the employee the chance to run the farm on his own. you will be surprised at how they will accept the challenge." Male sheep/beef farmer, 60–69, West Coast
"Learn to empower your staff to take over and trust them. Take pride in developing their ability to manage when you are not there." Male dairy farm owner, 70 years and over, Waikato/Counties
4. Do swaps with neighbours
An obvious solution to getting time off is to coordinate with your neighbours, especially those with similar farms.
"Neighbours on the same road need to form a group where they each support the other to have time away." Female beef farm owner, 50–59, Northland/Auckland
"Do an exchange with a neighbour. Get them to look after your farm for a week and you look after theirs in return." Male share milker, under 30, Otago
5. Learn to delegate
It's flattering to think you're so indispensable that your farm couldn't function without you. But is this really true? Farmers report most tasks can be effectively delegated for a day or two – or a week in the right season – as long as you prepare ahead and get the right help.
"Delegate more responsibility and let youthful enthusiasm take on the day-to-day activities on the farm. This has freed me up to focus on other things." Male beef/sheep owner, 50–59, Manawatu/Horowhenua
"The world won't end just because everything isn't done your way. Learn to delegate." Male dairy farm owner, 50–59, Northland
6. If you're stuck for help, cast the net wider
There are more people available to help than you think – friends, family, retirees, students and travellers.
"Advertise for retired farmers to come in and farm-sit. There are lots of 60-plus cockies out there with bugger-all to do." Male beef/sheep farmer, 30–35, Bay of Plenty
"Don't be afraid to ask! Family and friends are usually only too happy to help out. You may not get whole days off the farm, but maybe a series of part days." Female dairy farmer owner, 40–49, West Coast
7. A short break is better than none
Many farmers report the benefits of regular, mini-breaks to freshen up and keep things in perspective.
"Get the neighbour to feed the dogs. Even 24 hours away locally feels like a mini break to me." Beef/sheep farmer, 50–59, Manawatu/Horowhenua
"Making time to get off the farm, even to go to town for lunch, seems to help clear the mind and make it easier to plan ahead." Male sheep/beef farmer, 60–69, Canterbury

The international fast food chain KFC says it has been forced to close its three restaurants in Fiji because of a dispute over ingredients.
The company says the Fiji Quarantine and Inspection Division will not let KFC bring in a special milk and egg mix or a specific type of salt.
KFC says this means it cannot cook fried chicken to the correct recipe, so its two stores in Suva and one in Nadi have had to close. The closures have led to the loss of 80 jobs.
Steve Johnson, the manager of Kazi Foods, which operates the KFC franchise in Fiji, has told Pacific Beat dealing with government agencies has been a long and frustrating process.
"The last two or three years it was… a hassle trying to do business," he said.
"Either the duties were increased from 20-something per cent to over 30 per cent and then they started holding our key ingredients in customs."
The limitations on ingredients meant the fast food stores would not have been able to satisfy their customers, he said.
"If you can't serve original recipe chicken, KFC corporate won't allow you to stay open. It's just not fair to your consumers – you're serving a product that's not meant to be."
Fiji's Attorney-General, in his capacity as the Minister for Commerce and Industries, has called a meeting of all stakeholders for Thursday in an effort to resolve the issue.
KFC has reiterated that government authorities should be helping investors and local businesses to enhance investment and job creation and says the company looks forward to resolving the issue amicably.

In this powerful reader, Seeking Higher Ground, prominent scholars and writers examine the racial impact of the disaster and the failure of governmental, corporate and private agencies to respond to the plight of the New Orleans black community. Contributing authors include Julianne Malveaux, Melissa Harris-Lacewell, Ronald Walters, Chester Hartman, Gregory D. Squires, Mindy Thompson Fullilove, Alan Stein, and Gene Preuss. This reader is the second volume of the Souls Critical Black Studies Series, edited by Manning Marable, and produced by the institute for Research in African-American Studies of Columbia University.

Corn, capsicum and chive soup
|Corn cobs
|2 Ltr
|3 Tbsp
|Onion, small, finely sliced
|Leek, small, finely sliced
|Garlic cloves
|Potatoes, medium size
|1 to taste
|Salt & freshly ground pepper
|Yellow capsicum, large, cored, halved, seeded and sliced
|½ cup
|½ cup
|1 bunch
|Chives, sliced
- Cut the kernels off the corn cobs. Set the kernels aside. Break up the naked cobs and put them into a large saucepan. Cover the cobs with 2 litres of water and simmer for 30 minutes to make corn-cob stock.
- While the stock is simmering, continue making the soup. Put 2 tablespoons of the butter into a large saucepan over a moderate heat. Add the prepared onion (finely sliced) and leek (finely sliced) and cook until translucent but not brown. Lower the heat and add the sliced garlic and prepared potatoes. Stir these into the onion, season with salt and cook gently for a few minutes. Strain the corn-cob stock into the saucepan.
- Simmer for 20-30 minutes until the potatoes are very tender. Crush the potatoes slightly with a potato masher. Add the reserved corn kernels and cook gently for 5 minutes. While the soup is cooking, use another saucepan to cook the prepared yellow capsicum (cored, halved, seeded and cut into slices) with the remaining tablespoon of butter and ½ cup of water.
- Cook gently for 5-10 minutes until tender. Add the cooked capsicum to the soup. Check the consistency, adding more water if needed. Check the seasoning and add freshly ground pepper. Stir in the cream and chives.
Hmmachinadded 1643 days ago
i forgot to cook the capsi*** seperately and it was still lovely.
Hmmachinadded 1643 days ago
i tweaked this a bit using a kumara instead of potato, but loved using the cobs for stock, great idea! i did a whole recipe worth of corn and cob stock freezing half of each for another time as there are only us two (but greedy ones) in our household now!

What for? . What is it of value to me if i subscribe to Nintendo?

Have a question?
Pablo Garcia & Golan Levin Creator on
@Raw Word: I welcome recommendations for any deserving public middle/high school art program for NeoLucida donations. Write me at pablo [at] neolucida [dot] com with some details.
Pablo Garcia & Golan Levin Creator on
@Rebecca Ednie: Both the NeoLucida and NeoLucida XL use the same clamp and mount. I spent months trying to work out a way to make a simple "upgrade" option for the great supporters of the first edition. But the main costs for the NeoLucida XL are in the new viewer; the clamp is a small part of the overall price. So the NeoLucida XL viewer alone would be at least US$40. Not a huge savings and a logistical hurdle to deliver this to backers (new packaging, additional customer support, etc.). So I spent a lot of time trying to make the overall kit inexpensive so the upgrade wouldn't be a financial hurdle for people. The best way to do this is to offer FREE worldwide shipping. So you get an extra clamp that you may not need, but it is only slightly more than the viewer alone, and it streamlines the manufacturing and delivery process so everyone can be happy with their tool.
Thanks for your support of the original NeoLucida and for your continued interest!
Rebecca Ednie on
I'm very upset that you don't have a discounted price for the new XL for previous backers who had trouble using the first one. I tried it a couple times but never got it to work. So disappointing. One little movement and the image I was drawing was all off kilter from previous lines. I could make that mess without a camera Lucida!
Barry Chessick on
Looking forward to the XL. I'm 80+. I have a bit of a hand tremor. Hope the XL will help me.
ella henderson on
Hello! its been a couple of years and I just remembered (again) the other day that I never received my NeoLucida. I would really appreciate if one of the creators could contact me about this as I would still love to use it.

Hi, I was overseas when my neolucida was supposed to arrive ( December 2013). I just got back to Australia and found that it wasn't here so I went trekking through my emails and found that I missed the email about having to supply my shipping address.. I just did that so hopefully that's all good and it's not too late to get one!! Thanks
Pablo Garcia & Golan Levin Creator on
So, we've changed our minds and have decided to keep the pre-order open through August 15th. Basically, we kept receiving several emails a day from disappointed folks who missed the pre-order, and we felt bad to turn them away, when we found a way we didn't have to. So if you're still interested in purchasing a NeoLucida (for September delivery), just head on over to https://www.trycelery.com/shop/neolucida2014.
Pablo Garcia & Golan Levin Creator on
Dear friends and backers: the mid-2014 pre-order period is now over. More units will be available at Amazon.com in September (*for USA orders only, regrettably). If there is sufficient demand, we may have another pre-order in time for the holidays. Thanks!
Pablo Garcia & Golan Levin Creator on
The 2014-edition NeoLucida is available for pre-order through May 31 at https://www.trycelery.com/shop/neolucida2014.

Dear patient backers: we are resuming production and fulfillment after a two-month hiatus away from our all-consuming NeoLucida project. (We also work as full time professors!) Approximately 3% of you still haven't received your NeoLucida -- either due to various shipping errors, or, as in the case of Karan Kaushak below, because we're still receiving some of your address surveys!
We are now returning to the project with our full attention, and, in addition to completing outstanding reward fulfillments, we are also releasing an improved version and a shopping system that will allow proper international shipping.
Yours sincerely,
Golan & Pablo
Karan Kaushik on
Hi Pablo and Golan!
I only filled in the address form in April but backed your project for $40 back in June 2013. Can I expect my NeoLucida in the mail any time soon?
Hey there,
Just wanted to drop a note (very late) to comment, after having it for a few months now, how much I like this thing. You guys have really outdone yourselves; it's a great device, has proven genuinely useful (though I admit, I'm only now really starting to like how my drawings are coming out with it), and even the build quality is awesome. I've been amazed at how well it's held up in my briefcase.
So yeah, hope all is well, and I'm loving the Neo Lucida.
Daniel Freire Figueiredo on
Hi Golan and Pablo,
Congratulations for your project! I'm excited about the Neolucida and have started practicing regularly with it!
However, I have noticed a problem of vertical distortion. Everything looks larger and compressed. Do you think it is a prism problem? Is there any solution? Please find attached a pdf with some pictures of the objects and the drawing. The drawing of the duck actually doesn't serve as an example because I adjusted a little distortion, but in the pot drawing you'll be able to notice this problem very well.
I hope you'll help me to find a solution.
Thank you very much in advance for your support.
Best regards,
Santiago Luz on
I got mine today, here in Brazil, with no customs fees.
11 weeks and 3 days, probably because of our lazy customs.
Thanks for the creators! I can see how amazing you are developing each aspect of NEOLUCIDA! I'm so happy with this! Thanks!

Hello Clifford!
Thanks for your considered observations. We completely agree. Here are some responses and explanations:
> you are essentially looking through a keyhole...
Yes, this is correct. The small size of the viewing aperture helps eliminate parallax problems that would arise if your head moved around more. In fact, many older camera lucidas have even smaller apertures than ours, for the specific purpose of ensuring a singular, stationary perspective. For example, see the one pictured here, which limits viewing to a tiny 2mm notch: http://neolucida.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Vintage-Camera-Lucida-with-Shades.jpg.
> If you wear glasses, you may have a hard time getting your eye close enough to the prism.
That's correct in several ways. It really is necessary to get your eye within 1cm of the prism for best results -- and this short distance really does interfere with glasses. We know -- we wear glasses too! For this reason, we've posted a design for a "prescription NeoLucida", which not only solves this problem, but allows you to properly focus at two distances simultaneously:
Other backers have already taken this design further. For example, Ben Tesch produced this modifcation to his NeoLucida: http://www.flickr.com/photos/neolucida/11569352165/.
> this is going to be a fun tool to get realistic shape placement on paper.
EXACTLY. The professional camera lucida artists we've spoken to all assert the same thing, as does David Hockney in his book, 'Secret Knowledge'. The NeoLucida is used best to help zap problems with foreshortening and positioning. One doesn't spend "the whole time" drawing through the camera lucida; rather, one uses the camera lucida to mark off accurate proportions -- and then uses regular drawing-from-life skills to fill in the rest.
Thanks for your review!
Golan & Pablo
Clifford Drane on
Thank you for the NeoLucida, mine arrived today. It is definitely a quality piece of hardware; the craftsmanship is impeccable and I have no doubt that this is an improvement upon the design of his venerable concept.
However, after some time using it, I think a couple of user experience considerations should be shared beyond just the kudos and respect the founders earned through this labour of love. As a product meant to be used, there are definitely some things to know.
1) If you wear glasses, you may have a hard time getting your eye close enough to the prism. It is definitely proving problematic for me, to the point of real frustration that it wasn't pointed out by the founders as a potential issue. Too far away, the image is nil or unusable... Too close and my lens hits the prism and ruins the placement.
2) Keeping one eye closed comfortably takes practice. Using an eye patch is not out of the question. It's proving to be quite uncomfortable beyond a few minutes at a time.
3) The "window" is essentially a small slit that you will need to kind of scan your head/eye forward and backward to see your image. This is no projected image, you are essentially looking through a keyhole...
4) Which is problematic because any side to side movement on your part will shift the image. This takes a lot of getting used to. Draw quick.
5) The equal lighting consideration is definitely real. Do not expect to use this with your iPad as the drawing platform. Perhaps some see this as an edge case, and maybe it is, but it's worth noting that you will be unlikely to blend this ancient concept with your cutting edge digital artists medium.
I think this is going to be a fun tool to get realistic shape placement on paper, but not finished drawings (even quite expressionistic ones) as the eye and body requirements to keep a reliable image across time is quite hard.
I hope it's understood that this is no bash, it's just an honest review of my experience with your product.

My neo lucida might have been shipped back to you, cause I failed to inform the postal service of my area of my move so it can be on its way back to you or lost. The Lucida was to be a gift to someone special too me who's majoring in art. Oh creator please tell me there's a way to get the Lucida back!

We will never trust Amazon again. They screwed us to the wall, without warning and without explanation. After half a dozen phone calls we still cannot get a straight explanation from them. They are fine (though extremely complex to use) for retail in the USA; all other bets are off.
Lynn Fliger on
Pablo & Golan,
I and my son are the creators of the Kickstarter project:
I am very interested in your comments concerning Amazons international shipping issues. Please contact me thru my email address which you have. I would like to learn more. We are currently considering listing our product with Amazon. A significant percentage of our customers are international so you see my concern. http://www.fpgear.com
I was a $12 supported but since have purchased a device from your Amazon offering.

@P&G You are the first KS Project I ever Backed and Boy what a ride that was ... Simply put You Guys are Professional, Prompt,Honest & Inspiring . From a true fan I wanna say Thank You Thank You Thank You for this journey Even with your last logistic issue ... It's not your fault, Amazon was the right choice ( As the best online international Market place) and you could not have known about their sudden decision.
Pablo Garcia & Golan Levin Creator on
Hi folks! It's true -- NeoLucidas are now available on Amazon for customers with shipping addresses in the USA: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G1SYTZM. Unfortunately, Amazon scr*wed us and will not ship internationally. We feel absolutely awful for our patient international backers so we're working on a proper system for preordering & fulfillment that should work around the world, hopefully by the end of 1st quarter 2014. We'll post more information in an Update shortly.
Kodi on
Absolutely Fascinating
Yes it takes a little getting used to
and looking past the thing SO close to you eye takes a little practice
I also noticed if the object being viewed is too bright it is more difficult
as opposed to have it somewhat muted in intensity
i could never draw this good freehand
Thank YOU!

Good news and bad news.
The good news? A new batch of Neolucida has arrived on Amazon.com! Hurray! :-)
The bad news? Amazon doesn't offer international shipping (again) :-(
For me, living in Europe, that last one is frustrating. Just like it is for Pablo & Golan, i think.
But to be honest... after all, a Neolucida is worth waiting for! :-)
Pablo Garcia & Golan Levin Creator on
Hello all, there are another 2160 units coming online shortly, which should be available by late this week or early next week. In case it's not obvious, we're even more furious than you are about the snags and workarounds -- we thought a giant multibillion-dollar tech corporation would be able to handle international shipping with ease, but we were wrong. We will definitely be pursuing other options in the future.
E to the J on
i still want to get one once the amazon issues are worked out. i don't think i will use the work around at this time.maybe once there on amazon.ca?
Matt Soar on
This is such an exciting project, and you've both been fabulous in terms of communication. I share your frustration and disappointment re Amazon letting you guys down re international shipping, but I also have to say the Bongo workaround is far from ideal - not just an extra step, but another ~$40 for final delivery. I do hope you are able to find a better solution for international buyers.
Fred Ploeger on
Seems I will be first negative comment...I've been trying for about two weeks now to "see" an image on my paper. I can only check the directions so many times before I start screaming . One question...why are two sides of the prism blacked out?
eduardo torres on
Got mine a week ago and I am very happy with it, I had faith in this project and it certainly paid off, great job guys
Jim Bicknell-Knight on
Thanks very much for letting us know! Really looking forward to getting one :)
Stéphane Grégoire on
As long as the glitch is solved soon, cause we're a lot of internationnal waiting to buy the last 80%, wich could be too quick if there's only 20% left. Can't wait to buy this wonderful product! :)
Martin Winter on
That is excellent news, Pablo & Golan! Thank you for this clarification!
Pablo Garcia & Golan Levin Creator on
Only 20% of our stock is in the system right now, so "3 left" reflects this batch while more are processed into the system on a rolling basis. Thousands more are warehoused and will become available once the system catches up with inventory. Patience... There are more.
Martin Winter on
Let's hope that at least the DIY instructions will be complete soon. (2 left)
Jim Bicknell-Knight on
"glitch" indeed. 3 left.
Martin Winter on
Only 6 left in stock …
Martin Winter on
So excited about this, but will likely not be able to buy it due to the Amazon "glitch". Quite sad.
Jim Bicknell-Knight on
Only 20 left in stock! Will the glitch be sorted before they're all sold?!

Encinitas Air Conditioning Experts Provide AC Repairs and Replacements
Advancements in HVAC technology have now made even the finest air conditioning models available in the market, affordable to even more homeowners. Homeowners benefit from a huge variety of air conditioning models to choose from; however, the fact remains that even the best ACs are prone to a number of problems when they are left unmaintained. Installing air conditioners fitted the latest technology is a double-edged sword. While they may offer a range of features that previous models did not, they can also malfunction in multiple ways.
At Hi Tech Air Conditioning, we provide swift and reliable air conditioning repair and replacement services to homeowners and residents living in Encinitas. Our experience in the industry allows us to resolve any air conditioner problems in timely manner, so that your comfort and safety is never in question.
Common Reasons Air Conditioning Systems Require AC Repairs
Despite the advancements in air conditioner technology, the majority of AC units still use the same principles. Air conditioning systems consist of air filters, condensate drains, electrical wiring, and AC coils. When any one of these components malfunctions, different problems may arise.
For example, when air filters become dirty or clogged, the quality of air circulating in your home will be severely diminished. Faulty condensate drains will mean that you will no longer be able to control the humidity in your home, resulting in potential discoloration of walls. Finally, AC coils determine a unit's heat absorption and energy efficiency capacity.
We Perform Air Conditioning Repairs and Replacements on a Wide Variety of Systems in Encinitas
As one of the finest air conditioning repair and replacement services in Encinitas, we acknowledge the importance of identifying and resolving an AC unit's problems in the swiftest possible way. While speed is certainly among our list of priority, we will never compromise quality for it.
We will be able to assist you with everything from choosing an AC unit for your home all the way to replacing it when it fails irreparably, or if you are renovating your home. Contact us at of Hi Tech Air Conditioning today to learn more about your AC and our services.

Amazing noodles@Tuck Kee Restaurant, Jalan Yau Tet Shin, Ipoh
http://cinziamazzamakeup.com/?x=informazioni-viagra-generico-100-mg-a-Genova One of the top foodie bloggers, Motormouth was the reason why I came here. He quoted that this place served the best "wa tan hor" and the photos made my tummy growled so bad I diverted to Ipoh for dinner on the way heading home.
miglior sito per comprare viagra generico 100 mg spedizione veloce a Torino The entire restaurant was full when I arrived. Thankfully, a family left soon after otherwise I'd probably need to wait for some time before I get a place to sit.
acquistare cialis con mastercard My first dish: blanched octopus! Soaked in hot water for several seconds and then taken out, drizzled over with garlic oil and soy sauce before serving. This dish reminded me so much of Korean cuisine. I never knew the locals here love eating octopus this way too.
see url The chilli sauce for dipping was fiery, gave a powerful "syok" kick when you dip the octopus bits in.
here RM 10, worthy dish. 8.5/10
http://cinziamazzamakeup.com/?x=quanto-costa-Viagra-generico-50-mg-online-a-Torino The herbal eggs are a dollar each. And they were yummylicious too! Do not be fooled by its regular average egg size. The yolk was quite rich and even eating half an egg, filled up a fairly big portion from your tummy. Pretty yums! 7/10.
http://maientertainmentlaw.com/?search=canadian-cialis Looks unattractive. Boring. Nothing much to say. But its taste is a 360degree otherwise. A perfect complement to the noodles!
over the counter drug like clomid twins The portion was for 1 pax and it was quite a generous one too! The eggy gravy later was super thick, suger eggy and full of savoury flavours! The wok hei was all infused into the dark brown strips of rice noodles, fried with skills! You can find strips of pork, fish cake etc. This verdict I would give 8.5/10! RM5.
watch Motormouth always speaks the truth with commendable foodie reviews. It was one of the BEST wa tan hors I ever had in my whole life. The other one was in Sin Loong Yong, in old town. Fried by a really elderly uncle on his working desk , the trishaw, behind this kopitiam.
This dish is known as Yu Kong Hor, literal translation that brings about the egg being the moonlight that surrounds the noodles. This is the trademark dish of Tuck Kee. After vigorously stirring the eggs and mixing them with the noodles, the after effects of the noodle was like AMAZING. Gluttony unleashed!
I would rate this 8.5/10 too. RM 6. Absolutely worth every dollar to try these two noodles out!
When one comes to Ipoh, almost always everyone will tell you that you must eat beansprouts in Ipoh because they are fatter, sweeter and juicier than normal beansprouts. This dish was average: 5/10. RM 3. Not as FSJ as I thought they would be.
Everything that taste and look better here eg: food, vegs, drinks, people etc are usually linked the fresh mountain water source with minerals.
One of the famous long standing "rumour has it" that is linked to the fresh water is the beauty of the local ladies in Ipoh. Coincidentally, the few ladies I know today who hail from Ipoh are eye turners!
Total damage: RM27. So friggin' affordable for the quality and quantity I am getting from this dinner. With the same exact food and portion per food served in KL would have easily cost me twice as much.
I liked it so much that I came back again for supper two weeks later! Good job Tuck Kee!

|Andil Gosine poses with Jamie Baird's portrait of him at PS2 Gallery, Belfast.
Photo by Andre Bagoo.
ANDIL GOSINE is 14-years old and he can't stop crying. He's at the Piarco International Airport. His family is about to board a plane that will take him, forever it seems, from Trinidad to Canada.
"I did not want to go," he says today, seated in a café on a cool November afternoon in Belfast. "I made a huge scene in Piarco. The security guard saw me seven years later and he said: 'O you come back!' I was crying and begging my parents not to go. I definitely did not want to leave. It was very traumatic for me."
Gosine, 43, has lived all over the world (in one chat he breezes through Paris, New York, Toronto). "You know that expression in Trinidad— nowarian?" he says, alluding to his wanderlust state.
Gosine is one of the artists featured in Caribbean Queer Visualities, the ground-breaking exhibition staged at Belfast in early November as part of Outburst, the city's queer arts festival. His piece, Coolie Colors, alludes to two shifts: moving away from Trinidad, and embracing his sexuality.
The artist juxtaposes two things: a small photo album showing that seven-year old who bawled down the place at Piarco posing in dainty guises; and an empty plant pot filled with three stunted jhandis—the flags used by Hindus for protection.
|Andil Gosine's Coolie Colours, Golden Thread Gallery, Belfast
"I could have been fabulous but then I moved to Canada," Gosine says the title of pantone that forms a part of his piece at the show. He is speaking on opening night at Belfast's Golden Thread Galley, taking the audience through the work. "I wanted to challenge the dominant narrative of the Caribbean as an oppressive space for people who don't conform to hetereonormativity." Though the Caribbean lags behind many countries in terms of LGBTI equality, Gosine, the oldest of three boys, remembers his childhood in Trinidad as one in which he was never made to feel oppressed.
"None of that was ever policed for me," he says.
Later, he states of the photo album, "Those pictures demonstrate to me the feeling of being a loved child who was not policed around identity. I was never told boys don't do that. I was a confident child. I was lucky to have been brought up in Trinidad. I wasn't known as a boy who didn't do sport. I was just Andil. I really did feel cared for by my parents."
|Details from Coolie Colours
He adds, "I left Trinidad a very confident child and Canada destroyed me. It was obliterating. There was nothing freeing about being in Canada. It was punitive those four years in high school."
Later, in Gosine's experience, race complicated his engagement with Canada's gay community.
"You won't see me claim gay pride because my experience of gay culture has been really race-inflected," he says.
"The racism in some pockets of the gay community just makes me feel sad." Coolie Colors, therefore, merges the story of migration with a gay man's personal experience of the world amid the forces of history.
"I think it reflects my anxieties and I just tried to be honest and confident about sharing them," Gosine says. At a roundtable discussion he adds, "For me, being home is where I get looked at as a full and complex human being…. I get to be a full complex human being in a way that proves evasive in Toronto or New York."
Gosine's story is just one of many within Caribbean Queer Visualities which was curated and coordinated by David Scott, Erica James, and Nijah Cunningham, with assistance from Colette Norwood of the British Council Northern Ireland and Annalee Davis of British Council Caribbean. The show was supported by Ruth McCarthy, director of the Outburst festival in Belfast. It was the culmination of a series of roundtable discussions convened by Small Axe, the forum for ideas.
"The exhibition emerged out of two events that centred on the aesthetic practices and decisions of the practitioners," Cunningham says. "The vision was, to my mind, to think the question of queer through contemporary visual art." Other artists involved include: Ewan Atkinson, Ebony G Patterson, Jean-Ulrick Désert, Jorge Pineda, Charl Landvreugd, Leasho Johnson, Nadia Huggins, Richard Fung and Kareem Mortimer.
"I think of Caribbean history as a kind of queer history," says David Scott, founder/ editor of Small Axe. "We tend to think of these colonial stories through a kind of normative lens overriding social and individual dimensions… But we all have stories of people who stand out in our family settings as LGBTI. If you tell the story through those lenses, what emerges?"
Gosine, a former Commonwealth Scholar and World Bank gender consultant, is also an associate professor of cultural studies at York University, Toronto. He was born on November 26, 1973. He grew up in Tableland before his family joined the throngs of people who migrated.
"I worked hard to get into Presentation College," he says of his time at Robert Village Hindu School. "I remember I finished first. I worked so hard and then you want me to leave all this to go to some industrial town, some vocational institute in Oshawa?" After school, Gosine's plan was to make his escape to Trinidad. But the plan changed.
"It changed because I met my first boyfriend," he says. "Everything changed." Later, they changed again. The relationship ended, posing a new dilemma for the nowarian.
What to do? "That relationship ended and my art career started," Gosine says, as if channelling Adele or her good pal Jessie Ware.
Gosine's work has already been shown at Queen's Museum, O'Born Contemporary, Gallery 511, and the Art Gallery Ontario. His forthcoming solo exhibition, Coolie, Coolie, Viens Pour Curry. Le Curry Est Tout Fini! will open across three gallery spaces in Toronto in March 2017.
His work balances the historical with the personal, showing their common thread of power.
"My mom and dad are clearly affectionate," Gosine says. "In my first relationship, I was in a way copying my parents. Then, for many years, the dominant mode of existence was heartbreak." He recalls being inspired by the conceptual artist Lorraine O'Grady, who once said, "Art's first goal is to remind us that we are human, whatever that is….we are all human." "I once wanted to be a writer," Gosine says.
He also alludes to a time when he was drawn to politics. He adds, smiling, "But art provides a more complex way of conveying the world."

Type 6 INFP. Highly-sensitive person.
These are just labels that pretty much describe who I am. Even the Big-Five personality traits model also indicate the same core traits that revolve around the following:
I don't do anything if I don't get the sense or feeling of security or safety. I rely a lot on verbal assurance and/or physical presence to even get through my daily work, especially if I'm dealing with something totally new. This is where I will need to work on my competency that will give me the confidence to deal with situations.
I get stressed out when I have to work in a chaotic or noisy environment. That's just too much stimulations of my senses. This is where I will need to learn how to unwind and create "me" time at the end of a work day.
I get severely upset after getting criticized on my work a couple of times. This affects my confidence and passion in my work. It will cause quality to fall rapidly. Left uncheck, I will slip into depression. I need to learn to let it go and be a little more professional. Need to remind myself that the world doesn't revolve around me.
I get stressed out when people even raised their voice slightly when talking to me. I can pick up on the tones, the intent, and mood.
I hate it when I have to keep doing repeating or monotonous work. Making it worse would be to do it within a tight deadline. The only way to prevent me from stressing out about doing repeating work would be to give me something new to do or let me do some personal projects. If left undealt with, I will also slip into depression.
I get upset when I'm forced to do work that doesn't align with my personal value or stances. It causes massive internal turmoil. I have since learn to let things go from time to time but it still affect me quite badly if I'm not careful.
I need a very long time to recharge after work. That means I can get burnt out a lot faster. That's why learning to say no, developing my ability to schedule and prioritize work, and learning to compartmentalize is very important. I need to create enough "me" time so that I can recharge in any given 24-hour window.
I hate to be at the center of any attention. I prefer to be behind the scene, and not deal with any people. I prefer to be the side-kick.
Certain smells, noises, and lights overwhelm and upset me. I can learn to manage this but at the same time, letting people know and hope the understand is also as important.
I get hangry and it heightens my already sensitive senses, causing me to get even more upset if I smell certain smells, hear certain type of noise or see certain type of lights. Try imagine to live with your senses tuned all the way up. I can of course learn to manage this.
I hate fakery. For example, I'm a casual person and that dressing up is putting on a fake image. This is akin to stepping on my personal value. I can learn to let it go.
I am open to new experiences but only if they are intellectual-related. Any other type of new experiences may require a little more effort on my part to be uncomfortable but my stress coping mechanism has to be able to handle it.
There are probably many more but I will figure them out as I go through life. Now to achieve success in my life, personal development and growth is very important. I need to figure out a way to work on improving on the above traits, especially those that will affect my professional life.
Here I conclude my journal for today.

Fax on Skype?
Can you fax through Skype?
No, unfortunately not.
We had a bright idea one day. "Hey! If we can hook up an answering machine to Skype, why not a fax machine and send/receive international faxes without all of the cost!" So we performed a simple test to check if our bright idea would work.
To start off we hooked up two USBB2K Skype Telboxes to two computers that are connected to the Internet, and then connected a fax machine to each Skype Telbox. The theory was that the Skype Telbox would convert the skype calls into regular telephone signals and complete the connection between the two fax machines.
(Note: AU-600 and Yealink B3G Skype Diverter can also do the work.)
We found that the two fax machines could be connected to each other through this setting, however, the connection drops right after the fax machines start to handshake (talk to each other.) Normally, a fax machine will create long beeping or screeching sounds when it connects to another machine. In our trial the beeping sound was short before stopping, thus indicating that the connection failed.
After doing some more research over the Internet, we found the following description in Wikipedia.org about the G.729 codec Skype uses for its audio signal:
G.729 is an audio codec for voice that compresses voice audio in chunks of 10 milliseconds. Music or tones such as DTMF or Fax tones cannot be transported reliably with this codec."
This is why faxes cannot be sent through Skype. In the future, we hope Skype will open up more ports on the computer for its service and provide a less compressed method of communication when a user needs to send a fax.
Update on 10/07/2008: Pamela Fax is a service provided from Pamela to enable users to send faxes using Skype Credit. Please find the step-by-step operation guide of using Pamela Fax in the following video clip.

Yesterday I photographed over 136 women. One hundred thirty six who signed the guest list - that doesn't include the Hanover College Football players or the Speaking of Women's Health Event Staff for this fabulous event at Ivy Tech, or my friend David who works in the building and is a good enough sport to come on in and be photographed in my photo booth! I began at 7:30 in the morning and wasn't all packed up and ready to go until after 3 o'clock that afternoon. Phew! I was worn out last night!
But what a fantastic day! Why tell you all this? Because I am still enjoying the great energy that flowed through my room all day. I can't tell you how many times I heard the claim that the camera would break if I took her picture, or how fat she is, or how bad her hair looks, or how many wrinkles or double chins she has. But more times than that, I heard words of love and encouragement from her friend/daughter/mother who said, "Nonsense! You look fabulous!" And that is what it was all about!
Every woman who sat in front of my camera was gorgeous because the joy of having a day out for herself, pampering herself and learning more about how to care for herself, was evident. These ladies were out for a day of fun and relaxation for themselves! Fun hats and feather boas and wacky sunglasses were just the outward expressions of how far they wanted to let themselves go. Just for today - be silly. Just for today, have fun in front of the camera, with no worries about all the physical "flaws" we imagine we see in ourselves. Just for today - love being right here in this moment. Laughing with people we love because we are with them, having a blast. No worries. And that's contagious!
I heard laughter in the hallway. The ladies in the room with me were having fun dressing up. Later in the day I heard a few comments about being able to smell someone else's perfume on the boas - how wonderful is that?! Not only the positive energy remained, but lingering scents filled the room, as well! It was a day to rejuvenate, and that we did!
I feel "blessed" - and that is not a word I use lightly. I had the help of a friend starting a new business and she worked as hard for me as she did for her new venture! She corraled folks from the hallway, captured email addresses, and encouraged their adventurous adornments, all as she made sure they signed up for her business' gift basket. She enjoyed herself as much as the rest of us, and I hope her Fantasia Home Party business takes off. She sure was introduced to plenty of potential customers!
As I face the task of editing and upoading, I look forward to seeing each smiling face again. I will remember the fun we had. I will remember comments you made. I will remember - even if I don't remember your name! - because every one of you is an individual and you showed me a part of yourself to share with the world. And you will always be glad you did. Mom, whose daughter had to cajole you into joining her in the shot - you and she will both treasure that image. Friends who came together, who share every day together, posed together in order to have a souvenir of another adventure shared. Co-workers who sat together - your jobs may change one day, but you will always remember the fun you had on this day. In this moment. Thank you for allowing me to capture your smiles. It was my pleasure! I know you are going to enjoy seeing what we captured - I wish I could be in the room when you all open the folder so I could hear that laughter again!
Keep smiling - you look so pretty!

Tanque Polipropileno: The Best Way To Choose
Substance Storage Tanks are the tanks for storing substances useful. And, since there are numerous chemicals used by different businesses, there are many different storage tanks available for holding them, safely and securely. Several businesses use substances that are dangerous in nature, and therefore, these substances must be stored with utmost care. All of this becomes all the mo-Re significant if these compounds need to be shops in tremendous quantities.
In the marketplace Tanks can be found, the great news is. Instead, you can go on the internet to find some suppliers in your nearby area out. Be sure the one you wind up purchasing matches your requirements and you need to choose carefully, in case you are searching for to get a tanque de polietileno. Needless to state, storing chemicals, is potentially hazardous - safety, therefore, is paramount.
This being the case, you need to be mindful about whether it may be up to keeping the kind of chemicals you are considering and which tanques de polipropileno you purchase.
You definitely don't need to end up with a container that's not up to the job - leaks, spills, and the ensuing injury (to humans and the environment) from toxic chemicals is definitely some thing you want to avoid. You will need and never having to concern yourself with any negative effects the substance with have to the tank a tanque de polietileno that could hold substances for prolonged periods.
The construction of the tanque de polipropileno you are considering should be high in your list of stuff to see. This may of course be immediately linked to its safety and overall functionality. Take a look at the quality of the stuff it's made of, and also the caliber of its own fittings - Are they to scratch?
Is the tank sturdily made? Do the various parts move, flip, seal, etc. easily and securely? Quality fittings and stuff make for a reliable tank which will be cleaner, simpler, and safer to use - and also to keep.
Associated to this and yet another important thing to keep an eye out for is if the container meets security requirements that are appropriate. Search for a tank that meets American Society for Testing and Materials (American Society of Testing and Materials) standards. This will ensure that the container has been made into a higher standard using high quality stuff, in the event the ASTM mark is born by the tank. This subsequently will make certain you get a secure, durable product that'll serve you well for a long time.
Happily, there are lots of top-quality storage tanks furnished and being manufactured. Chemical Tanks Storage is made with resistant materials in order to hold the chemicals for extended. So, there are tanks that are plastic and polyethylene tanks. And, there are various others too. Inc utilizing compounds need to pick people who fit their storage requirements in the very best way possible. Pick quality tanks that are poor and you're prepared for decreases Read More Here.

MERCIFUL GOD, Gracious Father, I thank You most heartily that You have graciously kept me this day, to this very hour, from all harm of body and soul, and I ask You, for Christ Jesus, Your dear Son's sake, graciously to forgive all my sins I have committed against You again this day in thoughts, words and deeds, and to remember them no more in all eternity.
And as I am about to retire to rest, I ask You, my Father, to guard me from all ills of body and soul, so that I may rest and sleep secure from the wiles and power of the devil, and from dreams vain and vile, thus rising in the morning to Your glory, refreshed and in health.
And now I commend myself wholly into Your divine hand; You have redeemed me, faithful God.
