haha.. funny! :P
I give English and Math tuition at home for Primary school going kids. Ethan participates in all these classes ever since like 'forever'..
The other day I was teaching the Primary 4 kids Multiplication. After class, Ethan requested to learn multiplication too. I told him it is good enough that he knows his Addition and Subtraction well and that Multiplication can wait. After all, he is not even FIVE yet! But he insisted to learn as he wants to be 'part of that class' when the kids are doing their Multiplication worksheets. Just to entertain him, I taught him 'x 2'.
Watch this video:
Ethan @ 4Y8m
Go to any bookstores and you'll see Multiplication posters that cover the entire range from x 2 to x 9 or even x 12. Don't buy that! The reason is simply when kids see too many numbers at once, they'll get scared and confuse.
For kids to learn, teach them little bits at a time. That was what I did with Ethan. I teach him bits of this and that everyday and over time all those accumulates to form a complete learning circle.
Get a printer at home. Printers are pretty affordable these days. You can do wonders with them. Print a page each week or month even based on your kid's progress. Print as little numbers as possible. I let Ethan print only x2 this time and as he masters it, he is allowed to print x3 and so on. It works as an encouragement and the kid will want to strive further to be able to print more and more!
If you watch the video, you'll see that I used different methods to get Ethan to answer my questions. To him, all these are PLAY. Learning is not that difficult if it is FUN. Make them learn without them realizing that they are actually learning.
Learning through play is best. Play comes naturally for kids. Learning should be natural too… without force.

Ehem… wait one day I BAKE cupcakes and sell oso then you can call me kaya! :P
Google lah. I did not create those worksheets. I GOOGLE. Google is my best friend, apart from that printer ^_^
Ethan is so smart….:)
I love your teaching.. at least he have fun while memorizing it… not boring too.. ^_^
Wow! You teach primary 4 Maths and English. Then, Ethan has no need to go for others for tuition until he is in Secondary school.
That's the way it should be – like in schools overseas. Pupils enjoy studying and learning, experiencing. Not like here – rote learning, piles of homework every day, tests and exams and all the tuition to attend, all those Tiger Moms – they are actually depriving their poor children of their childhood. At least, I can see you're not like them. Two thumbs up!!!!

Those multiplication posters just make my room messy..hahaha. I prefer to draw and do some Maths exercise on a sheet of paper, and he work it out. Ethan is a very smart boy.

Patience… sometimes I wish I have more of that too. Kids can drive us nuts at times, don't they? :)
He's good o!~ And u're a great teacher, too!
Merryn, wow…din know you are a tuition teacher!
eh. wait…i just looked at the video. In multiplication, must we say the word "TIMES" ?
Merryn Reply:
May 9th, 2012 at 3:54 pm
Actually we don't need to say the word 'equals' as we should try to shorten it as short as possible. But If you don't say "times" what do you say? How does QQ do this in school? share share pls…
Ethan is smart. He learn everything easily.
Wah, didn't know you are also a tuition teacher! You are good in teaching! Thanks for sharing the tips for multiplication. Will definately google for the printouts!
wow ethan definitely can save on school fees next time!
U are such a good mummy :-)
nowadays become a tutor is difficult..
we have to think on how to let the child understand and absorb a new thing….
last time … my tutor just tell me ..
"Simple Person take this and memorise evrything and next week I shall test you"
btw I added you in my blog list but I do not know why it did not auto update on your new post..

Alamax, i really need to check on the feed. some other bloggers told me the same thing too :(
in chinese school, they hafal it like that…for example, for multiplication2, they said….122, 224, 326, 428 ("yi er er, er er si, san er liuk, si er pak").
That's why they say chinese school kids has got quicker brain in maths because by hafal like that, their mind moves very fast..hehehe….
I was once for to do until x24 and I mastered it.. But I hate it.. I love another math equation more, but hate that multiplication.. LoL.. but yours technique is loveable.. now, I only remember x2, x3, x5 and x9 only.. :D
wow, good initiatives Ethan wants to learn multiplication at the age of 4.. hahahaha!! i hope when he goes to school, i think primary 2 later, he will not quit doing his multiplication then!! hehehe..
Clever boy! Wah…Ethan is a genius. I tell you, no need to enrol him to kindy already coz he knows more than the kindergartners..haha. He writes his numbers better than Gwen lah. I already having "headache" in teaching Gwen subtraction. She uses the counting backwards method. She macam tak paham what subtraction really is.
Since Gwen joined Bao Bei, she speaks English with lah, meh, wor,….*slap forehead*
Cool. Teaching kids require lots and lots of patience because their attention can be so short and patience is something that t am always struggling with..
VERY clever mummy la this submerryn! no wonder Ethan can learn so fast! :D
You are a supermum do you know that? Now even giving tuition? Where you find the time la? Ethan loves learning about new things. That's really good. Smart boy.
Can you share tips on how to teach even in addition and substraction?
Home is where MY heart is.
I am a mother to two boys; Ethan and Ayden and a wife to Darling William. I'm a stay at home mum who blogs to break the monotony of life and to avoid feeling jaded. Would love to get to know all the Super Mommies and Daddies and Babies or Singles out there with the hope that we can learn more from each other. Most of all, I am a happy person, and I hope YOU are too.

Social Media Nightmares and How To Avoid Them
Nightmares are scary and making mistakes happen, but when you make mistakes on Social Media, the whole world seems to find out!
Here are a couple of mistakes people are making daily on social media and how you can avoid them.
- Typo's, spelling mistakes and grammar. Well we all make spelling mistakes when we are rushing or reading back on content too quickly whilst checking for errors before sending it out. You need to take time out and re-read your content before throwing it out there (what are the chances i publish this and there is a typo in this blog post now lol) Grammar, seriously this is my massive bug bear. People can't get their there, they're and their's right and stuff like that makes my blood boil a bit. If you're in business, you need to be getting these minor things right. If you are dyslexic or have a problem of that nature, maybe consider someone else to write your copy?
[tweetthis]Even when you're careful, spelling and grammar mistakes happen. Don't sweat the small stuff, learn from your mistakes. [/tweetthis]
- Public annoyances or awkward customers. I don't believe there is such a thing as a customer base that is 100% satisfied, mistakes happen on the business side of things and sometimes a customer just isn't happy. What do you do? You take a massive breath (or two) and calmly deal with this customer. They may be writing all over your social media platforms complaining and moaning, all you can do is try and calm them down and if you were in the wrong, own up to your mistake. Do NOT get into an argument with a customer, they'll never be your customer again if you do. Try and take the conversation offline if you can or to email, where nobody else will see the grumpy customers words.
If you need any help with blog writing, copy writing, prove reading or anything business related, please do visit the website here or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Protect your pet from life-threatening infections and diseases
As a responsible pet owner, we know you would like to ensure that your pet is vaccinated against preventable diseases – ensuring they live a long, healthy and happy life.
Cats, dogs and rabbits can all catch diseases that in worst cases can become life-threatening. Ensuring your pet receives protection against these diseases and a complementary health check will far outweigh the potential cost of treatment if they were to become infected.
Your pet will not only need an initial course of vaccinations, but will also require an annual booster vaccination to boost their immunity throughout the years.
Vaccinations for dogs
Your dog may pick up infectious diseases directly from other dogs, objects that they come into contact with, or the ground.
Dogs are more likely to pick up diseases if they are together in large numbers, i.e. going to the kennels, dog training classes, even somewhere a lot of dogs are walked, like the local common or park.
One disease -Leptospirosis – can even be passed on from your dog to you, with serious health consequences. Your dog may not meet many other dogs, but these diseases can be spread and carried on items of your clothing or shoes.
Vaccinations for your puppy
It is possible to vaccinate puppies from 6 weeks of age, but normally the first vaccine is given at 8 weeks of age. This is because the maternally derived immunity (MDI – the antibodies your puppy received from its mother) starts to decline at this age.
The second vaccine can be given at 10 weeks of age. Here at Twickenham Veterinary Surgery we follow the WSAVA (World Small Animal Veterinary Association) guidelines and give a third vaccination at 14 – 16 weeks of age: this ensures that all puppies who still had MDI at 8 and 10 weeks of age receive protection for the diseases we vaccinate against.
We recommend that puppies are not taken out to public places until at least 7 days after their second vaccination.
However, socialisation is incredibly important between the ages of 7 and 12 weeks, so if you have any friends with fully vaccinated dogs, you should try to socialise them on neutral territory (in their house or your house); most puppy classes will also accept puppies after their first vaccination, which is a fantastic opportunity for socialisation.
Booster vaccinations
Your puppy's primary course of vaccinations does not cover your dog for the rest of his or her life. Regular booster vaccinations are required, the first of which should be given no more than 12 months after the primary vaccination course.
Your dog's annual health check, which is included with the vaccination, can sometimes highlight any areas of concern you may have for your dog, or simply reassure you that your pet is in good health.
Another reason to have an annual health check is to detect potential signs of disease so we can nip it in the bud before it has a chance to develop.
We can also check that your dog's microchip is working.
If your dog misses their annual booster they may have to start the whole course of vaccinations again to ensure they are protected
Vaccinations for cats
There are a number of highly infectious and potentially fatal diseases which can affect your cat. If your cat lives in a multi-pet environment they may be at particular risk.
For many conditions you can protect your cat by ensuring they receive vaccinations. It is important to protect your cat from life threatening diseases to ensure they live a long, healthy and happy life.
Vaccinations for your kitten
It is possible to vaccinate kittens from 9 weeks of age, with the second vaccination given at 12 – 16 weeks old (with no more than 5 weeks between the two vaccinations). Here at Twickenham Veterinary Surgery, we prefer to follow the WSAVA guidelines and give the second vaccination at 14 weeks of age, to ensure that all of your kitten's MDI (maternally derived immunity) has left the system by the time he or she receives their second vaccination.
An adult cat whose vaccinations have lapsed would have two vaccinations 3 weeks apart. We would recommend that animals that have finished a primary course of vaccination are not let outside until at least 7 – 10 days after their second vaccination.
Booster vaccinations
Your kitten's primary course of vaccinations will not cover them for the rest of their life. They will need to receive booster vaccinations, which will boost their immunity throughout the years.
The first booster injection should be given no more than 12 months after their primary vaccination course. After this booster at year one, it is a good idea to complete an annual health review. This is where we can discuss the risk your cat is at of being exposed to the diseases we vaccinate against, and whether a vaccination is necessary at that point.
The annual health check can sometimes highlight areas of concern with your cat; it is especially useful for checking their teeth which often have a build-up of tartar which can be addressed.
Early detection of some diseases may bring benefits and a quick check to ensure your cat's microchip is working can bring you peace of mind.
Vaccinations for rabbits
We routinely vaccinate rabbits once a year against myxomatosis and rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD).
These vaccinations used to be given separately, but there is now a combination vaccination available which only needs to be given once a year. We recommend a health check every 6 months for your rabbit, which is especially helpful for detecting dental disease early on.
Vaccinations for ferrets
If your ferret regularly comes into contact with other ferrets or dogs, it is important to get him or her vaccinated against distemper.
As there is not a vaccine specifically licensed for ferrets, we use the dog vaccine. It is generally recommended to give a vaccination at 10 and 14 weeks of age, and then yearly thereafter.
If your pet is due their booster injection, or they require a primary course of vaccinations, please call a member of our friendly team on 020 8898 0528 to book an appointment.

Traveling the wide landscapes between power pop and alt-country, Columbus, Ohio's Tin Armor has comfortably found their home. Tin Armor's sophomore album, Life of Abundance, is a noticeable leap forward from the comfortable indie pop/rock of the band's past. With Life Of Abundance, this talented quartet has sharpened its songwriting acumen and widened its scope and vision to great effect. Displaying an ever-expanding appreciation for a range of classic acts from Big Star to The Band, Tin Armor has produced a record that grows more memorable with each passing listen.
Tin Armor provides hearty indie roots with rich, ripe swathes of gospel, power-pop, and country sensibilities. All of the necessary elements are present and at the right levels: clean guitar licks mesh well with the rich piano and organ tones, while the supple bass runs suitably enhance the bright drums and layered percussion. The interplay between the lead vocals and the two- and three-part harmonies is masterful. To be sure, these are familiar tones and ingredients being used in this recipe, but they are utilized with vim, vigor, and purpose. In short, the record is replete with stellar instrumentation, as each part is given equal voice in the mix.
Often when a band "matures" the emotion and soul can be sadly left behind. Fortunately that is not the case with Tin Armor. Instead, the emotions are heightened on Life of Abundance and the listener can feel the subtle tension in the band's soulful Americana pop. Life of Abundance rings out with an honesty and sincerity that's difficult to ignore and the impression left behind is anything but fleeting.

British actor Nicholas Hoult is dating former Glee star Dianna Agron, according to a U.K. report.
The X-Men: First Class actor, who was previously in a relationship with Jennifer Lawrence, was reportedly spotted kissing Agron at a bar in London over the weekend (04-05Apr15).
A source tells Britain's The Sun newspaper the pair has recently "become very close", adding, "They've been friends for a long time. It's early days but things between them are ticking along nicely."
Agron is currently living in London while starring in a new play about tragic fashion designer Alexander McQueen.

Falling in Love with Tchotchkes
Most of my inspiration to create a series of paintings happens while jogging through the hills in my neighborhood. On weekends, my route will occasionally take me passed a yard sale or two, and my eyes invariably make a quick scan of the plethora of stuff laid out in the driveway. These scans seem to linger on trinkets and collectibles, so one time I indulged this curiosity and stopped at a sale to examine a unique miniature glass "Tchotchke." Immediately attracted to its nostalgic aura and how I would depict its nuances on a canvas, I felt dismayed that I had not tucked money into my running shoe. When I got home, I drove back, but that little treasure of a reference for a painting was gone. Hence began my quest to paint collectibles, once owned and cherished, these inanimate objects had imbued their charm into my artistic mind. My studio happens to be just a few miles from an area with resale shops. A self-proclaimed "non-shopper," I have surprisingly derived great pleasure perusing the shops for creative inspiration. This work has become an extraordinary collection of second chances; Tchotchkes formerly valued with a personal sentiment, now discarded, will have a new legacy depicted in a fine art painting.

Our Morris polo shirt is made from a 100% cotton piqué weave fabric. The regular cut ensures a fitted look. Our designer team has given particular attention to the quality of the finish. The collar and cuffs feature a navy blue striped rib, as does the breast pocket. The latter has been lined with a micro pattern print fabric. The inner and under collar are made from contrasting Oxford fabric. A red braid has been sown inside the collar, echoing the red stripe under the collar. A patch with our new logo sown above the breast pocket adds a sporting note. Finally, the brand's new lettering is printed under the collar. Featured here in ocean blue. To be worn with faded jeans, like our Pavois 902.

Divide the greens among 4 salad plates and chill. Meanwhile, prepare the dressing: Combine all the ingredients in a jar and shake vigorously to blend. When ready to serve, arrange the pear slices over the chilled greens. Top with blue cheese and walnuts and drizzle with 1 or 2 spoonfuls of dressing. Put the remaining dressing in a bowl and pass separately.

Melbourne is one of Australia's real arts hubs.
A city where creativity seems to pour out of the walls and gush through the streets, it's home to all manner of musicians, producers, DJs, bands, and other vagabonds and ne'erdowells.
Lowtide earned a fair bit of acclaim in this hemisphere last year, with strong radio support and a sought after slot at End Of The Road Festival.
The group's self-titled debut album was a deft fusion of all shades of dream pop and shoegaze, a shimmering delight with a bittersweet soul.
New record 'Southern Mind' follows later this year, and will hopefully mark a great conversation between UK audiences and the Melbourne guitar underground.
Here, Lowtide's Anton Jakovljevic guides Clash through some of his favourite Melbourne groups...
- - -
Dianas - 'Leave Love'
Songs twist and turn in unexpected directions while vocal melodies and harmonies float over the top. Getting better with every release and a fantastic live band.
- - -
Time For Dreams - 'Operator'
Tom Carlyon (Devastations, Standish/Carlyon) and Amanda Roff (Harmony, Moon Rituals) make up the shadowy electric dreamscape that is Time For Dreams. We listened to their album over and over in the van on our UK/EU tour last year.
- - -
Parsnip - 'Health'
Parsnip write short super catchy pop songs with a 60s flavour but avoid sounding clichéd. They've released just one 4-track EP (which comes in at just over eight minutes!) so far, which left us eager to hear more from this quartet.
- - -
Terry - 'Rio'
These guys are a bit of a Melbourne supergroup with each member playing in multiple other bands (Total Control, Constant Mongrel, Dick Diver and Primo to name a few). Together they create catchy lo-fi pop/rock that likes to wear cowboy hats.
- - -
No Sister - 'Always Already'
Influences are worn proudly on their sleeves but when post-punk is done this well, I don't have any issue with that. Both their albums are worth a good listen. These guys supported us at our Alibi single launch last year and it was one hell of a set.
- - -
NUN - 'Can't Chain'
Darkwave electro punk outfit fronted by Jenny Branagan whose powerful vocals and stage presence make NUN an impressive act and one of my favourite Melbourne live bands.
- - -
Beaches - 'Void'
Known for their live shows of guitar heavy psych rock, these guys released their first album 10 years ago and are still going strong. Never not had a good time watching them on stage.
- - -
Miniatures - 'Jessamine'
Actually from Christchurch NZ, Miniatures were based in Melbourne for a few years so I'm going to claim them.One for 80's 4AD/shoegaze/dream pop fans, they released an album late last year on US label Saint Marie.
- - -
The Shifters - 'Contrast Of Form'
Formed around vocalist/guitarist Miles Jensen, The Shifters were originally a rotating group of musicians with a different line up at every show (hence their name). A now settled line up creates a blend of punk, pop and jangle.

Loose Tooth - 'Bites Will Bleed'
Warm fuzzy guitars, driving drums and all three members contributing vocals. Guitar pop with rough edges and just a little bit of bite.

Summer Flake - 'Wine Won't Wash Away'
Stephanie Crase was in the awesome 2000s Adelaide band Batrider and is now based in Melbourne. Summer Flake does 90s-tinged indie pop/rock as well as I've heard recently.

Hollow Everdaze - 'Catastrophe'
We've played with these guys a few times and they always impress. Catchy, warm, hook-laden psych pop.

The Stevens - 'Pulling All The Facts Together Now'
Their new album is called 'Good'. It is indeed good. Obvious influences would be Big Star and Guided By Voices, but this isn't to say they sound similar – The Stevens have got their own distinct thing going on.

We graduated and moved across College Avenue to the seminary, played pool in the dorm
basement, dated girls and tried to keep our virginity intact as God wanted, since, paradoxically,
the great procreator of creation was absolutely chaste. However, to compensate, we snuck
guilty glances at soft-porn centerfolds, joined the all-male line snaking around the corner
from a nearby movie theater showing "the actual birth of a child," and a few had the courage
to check out Brigitte Bardot in "And God Created Woman" at the Drexel theater on
(what else?) Main Street bordering the campus. Decades later, a roommate's daughter,
in one of life's little ironies, was Miss America.
These experiences were vividly real. God, increasingly fuzzy, despite the thick fog of Scandinavian and German piety that hung over the seminary. Evolution presented a problem. We wondered. If an affirmation of Jesus Christ was required for "salvation," did that mean that millions of Chinese who had not heard of Christ were eternally damned? What was required, even, what did it mean to "be saved?" For all Thomas Merton's profound spirituality, he wasn't saved from the fatal electric shock of a defective fan.[i]
Years later, an article in The Christian Century sharpened the question: what would we answer to extraterrestrials who landed on earth and said "Jesus who?" Was Christ cosmic, earth-bound or just Euro-American; for all people or just white people. And if the pictures we saw were anything like Jesus, how come he was so fair skinned?
In seminary, the Inquisition, Crusades, the torture and murder of "witches," heretics and
Anabaptists didn't get nearly as much play as Luther nailing his 95 theses on the Wittenberg
church door. I read all 567 pages of Luther's Commentary on the Book of Galatians,
but never heard about the Bhagavad Gita, the sacred Hindu scripture of the world's oldest
organized religion. Worse, nobody mentioned racism, sexism or poverty. We thought that
poverty was defined by our student budgets.
The theology professor gave his most memorable advice to the wives: "When you hang out your wash, put the underwear in a pillowcase so the neighbors can't see it." His text was Pieper's Christliche Dogmatik which held that there is only one valid interpretation of biblical passages. I was reading the Christian existentialist Nikokai Berdyaev and Thomism's, well, Thomas Aquinas. Fathers (there weren't any women in seminary) of newborns paid for the midmorning coffee break, and someone posted a sign that our son's name middle name was Aquinas instead of Albert. The neighbor across the hall was reading Reinhold Niebuhr and decamped for the Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He was quicker on his feet than I.
[i] There are several versions of what happened, including assassination and heart attack, but the bathtub-electric fan version seems most likely.

A trip to Changi Airport has always been a treat for the girls. The ample space presents itself as a huge playground for the kids. Plus the air-conditioning that makes the place more than comfortable. So when Kless told me that we are invited for the Angry Bird Preview at Terminal 3, I know we cannot say no. It would be sin not to accept the invitation.
The famous Changi Control Tower.
Changi playing host to Angry Birds from Space.
The first station was the Angry Bird Space Shuttle.
There was a brief show whereby a space astronaut did come out from the shuttle and the girls were excited to see it. Hopefully they didn't think it was a real man.
I'm not much of a fan, but the space character Angry Birds are pretty cool.
2nd station presented the girls a chance to do some art & craft. Three choices of either the 3D art box, tote bag or clock.
Joey chose the clock art and Jayne did the simpler tote bag colouring.
Joey is really growing up to be quite a perfectionist, every single line and spot got to be painted correctly.
Jayne was equally detail and did well even though the pictures are quite small and the colour pens were a bit too thick.
She is happy with her work.
Try out the human size Angry Bird game at the activity zone too.
3rd station has to be every kids' favourite, especially for Joey & Jayne.
Angry Bird Playground.
The girls had a great time, and to top it off, the organizers were generous to give each child an Angry Bird Space Plush toy. So cute right?
My dearest family.

The views from the rooftop are gorgeous with a straight view of the Sears Tower (since renamed the Willis Tower to the dismay of locals...). On our first night in Chicago (before ordering in to our room) we hit the rooftop for a drink before in closed and definitely fell in love with the city.

On a night where all-Big West first-teamer Sarah Toeaina was held to just seven points, the rest of the Rainbow Wahine backcourt picked her up.
Bri Harris scored 18, while Olivia Crawford did it all on a career night for the sophomore, leading UH to a 21-point win over Cal Poly in the opening round of the Big West Tournament.
"Just my teammates giving me energy," Crawford credited her outbreak performance. "Once I hit one, then I hit another one and my teammates were giving me a lot of energy, so I wouldn't have done it without them."
Crawford hit five three-pointers en route to a career-high 21 points to go along with eight rebounds and four assists.
"All year long she has been the player that has been completely selfless for us," said head coach Laura Beeman. "[She] Got us into our offense, ran our team, has never said boo I want the ball, I want points. Tonight it really came full circle for her, so [I'm} incredibly proud."
Beeman and company kept hope alive of repeating as conference tournament champions as they advanced into the quarterfinals to face Cal State Northridge on Wednesday. The Matadors won both regular season meetings this season.
"We have confidence going into tomorrow's game, and I'm just ready to see what's going to happen," said Harris.
The game tips off at 4 pm HST on ESPN3.

LUKE DENSON is set to play his 200th competitive game for the Seagulls on Saturday when they travel to fifth-placed Kendal Town knowing a victory could see them climb into the top four of the Evostik Divison One North table.
The Bay are currently edged out of sixth spot on goal difference by Lancaster City, who face a tough away game at second-placed Farsley Celtic, and are just one point behind both Kendal and fourth-placed Tadcaster, and two points behind third-placed Bamber Bridge who travel to Trafford.
Kendal have won six of their last nine league and cup games, but were beaten 3-0 by Clitheroe in last home game and Colne have also won at the Pye Motors Stadium this season.
Manager Paul Moore said: "We've got two tough games in four days with Radcliffe Borough at our place on Tuesday, but we have had two excellent reports on our opponets from Dave Hughes so we know what to expect.
"We are second in the form table at the moment with just one defeat in our last seven games, of which we've won five, and want to keep that going if we can."
The directors are to make a presentation to Denson, who made his Bay debut in a 1-1 draw at Wakefield in August 2009 and returned last season after spells at Chester and AFC Fylde, before Tuesday's home game against Radcliffe.
For the game at Kendall Gaz Burnett is back in the squad after training well on Thursday following a shoulder injury, while Chris Gahgan is available again and goalkeeper Kieran Wolland, who has returned to the club on loan from Wrexham until January, will also be travelling as cover for Shaun Pearson.
New signing Michael Roddy is also available for a possible debut after his international clearance came through this afternoon (Friday).
The Bay, however, are without Gaz Grant who is away, so Kyle Armstrong is likely to fill in alongside Tom Hardwick in the centre of defence.
THE Reserves play Holyhead Hotspur Reserves at The Oval, Llandudno, with a 2:30pm kick off.

The Truth About Quick And Easy Way To Get Six Pack Abs
01.03.2013 12:53
The truth about abs is there are several fast and simple ways available to get a six pack abs. Many people think that getting a six pack abs is a long as well as boring process, but it's not true at all! For me it really is a lot of fun since you get to undertake a new challenge which is very attainable.
The main reason most people think getting a six pack abs is hard is because they are told the incorrect information so when you try to apply the incorrect information you can't be successful no matter how hard you function.
In this post I will give you a 3 phase plan to get you jump began on getting the body you might have always wanted. The 3 steps are below.
Step one: Drink Only Drinking water
This is possibly the biggest suggestion I can give anyone once they want to get the six pack abs. The main reason I say that is because having a nice group of abs means lowering your extra fat percentage whenever possible. In case you are drinking soda or some kind of other drinks which contain calories or carbonation you're not helping the body drop excessive fat.
The awesome thing about water is the fact is it does not have any calories, however it will actually help to make your body anabolic that basically means you'll burn off fat much faster.
Step two: Do not Look at Snacking As Evil
I have recognized many people who attempt to wait until the following meal to eat once again because they think that snacking is bad and will make them pack on body fat. The truth is you are able to still snack and lose stomach fat! You simply need to ensure you don't snack the chips and crackers.
When you get hungry between every meal then use it like a time to have a serving of vegetables and fruits in. Not many people actually eat the suggested amount of veggies and fruits anyways so this is a truly healthy routine to get in to.
Step three: Develop And Exercising And Cardio Strategy
Obviously exercising is important if you want to take your ab muscles to the next level. Whenever you work out you need to hit your six pack abs from every position rather than just doing crunches as well as leg lifts each day.
It is crucial you don't ignore your own obliques either because you do not want to develop any muscles imbalances
If you need more details or techniques to get cut muscles, check out the truth about abs.

A potted history
Bristol was originally known as 'Brigstowe', the place of the bridge, and has always had an association with running water. The water of St. Vincent's Well was reputed to have healing powers. In medieval times, monks and friars acted as the first water engineers, supplying water from local springs through wooden and lead piping known as conduits. The Jacobs Wells pipe supplied water to Bristol Cathedral, and the St. Johns conduit can still be seen today, running down Nelson Street.
Wealthy people used the services of a water carrier to bring water to their homes. These men, also known as 'leders', would claim that their water was fresher than the water from the conduits and would charge a penny a pail.
Water was piped in as early as 1695, and a canal – which was never built – was planned to link Bath with Bristol in 1811. Neither ever provided enough clean water to satisfy the cities' needs or to help prevent the outbreak of disease.
Indeed, it was said that the local beer was safer to drink than the water! A fresh, reliable supply of water was needed. In 1840, a government commission recorded: "There are few large towns in England in which the supply of water is as inadequate as at Bristol." The following year, the Society of Merchant Venturers, a collection of prominent Bristol businessmen, established the Merchant Venturers Water Works. With Isambard Kingdom Brunel as a backer, the group sought to supply water to Clifton and the wealthier parts of Bristol.
The founding of Bristol Water
In 1845 a rival group formed. They were concerned that these plans were too restrictive and would not provide for the poorer, more densely-populated areas of Bristol. Prominent local citizens involved included William Budd, a pioneer in sanitation; Francis Fry, the industrialist and philanthropist; and George Thomas, the Quaker merchant who founded Bristol General Hospital. Their plan was to supply the whole city, not just Clifton, by bringing in fresh water from the Mendips.
The government weighed up the plans of the two groups, and narrowly came down on the side of the new group. On the 16th of July 1846 the Bristol Waterworks Company was formally established by an Act of Parliament. Only fifteen months later, the first 'sweet clear waters' travelled from Chewton Mendip, via Barrow and the engineering feat of the 16km Line of Works conduit, into the heart of Bristol. But there were far greater plans…
The growing company
Water flowed into Bristol from the Line of Works – so much so that a reservoir was required to hold the extra water. The first of three Barrow Reservoirs was built in 1850. Over the years sand filters were added, to treat the water, and chlorination was begun in 1935.
In 1888 the Bristol Water Works Company gained parliamentary approval to build a reservoir at Blagdon. A small army of labourers with horse-drawn carts built a dam, which extended 175 feet into the solid rock. The dam across the river Yeo drained the Mendips and meant that the new reservoir filled with 2100 million gallons of water.
As the company continued to expand, so did the surrounding area's demand for water. Cheddar springs were first tapped in 1922, and a full reservoir created in the 1930s. Cheddar reservoir holds 1350 million gallons and in 1947 became the first supply reservoir to allow sailing.
The Second World War delayed the creation of a new reservoir at Chew Stoke. Chew Reservoir was eventually opened in 1956 by Her Majesty the Queen, and has a capacity of 4,600 million gallons.
In more recent times, there was the imaginative and far-sighted Severn Scheme, effectively a regional water grid. This saw Bristol Water helping to create a reservoir at Clywedog in mid-Wales in order to feed the head of the Severn. Near its mouth, treatment works were developed, at Littleton and Purton, to treat the river water. The latest chapter in this huge scheme culminated in the commissioning of a £22 million expansion and improvement project at Purton in July 1995.
Today, 16 treatment works ensure the water we supply is of the highest standard as it leaves for the 139 covered reservoirs which store the treated water.
Bristol Water can boast both excellent quality of water, and some of the lowest levels of leakage in the country. Almost two million litres of water a day have been saved through the company's leakage prevention programme.
Bristol Water now supplies well over a million people with water. Whilst the Mendips, particularly Chew, Blagdon and Cheddar lakes, are vitally important to our local water supply, over half of your local water is piped from the Severn via the Sharpness Canal.. There are 6,600 km of local water mains – a far cry from the 16km of the original Line of Works!

Upthrust Doubt
Due to gravitational force an object partially or fully merge in water and due to upthrust force object experiences upward force then object floats.
->Gravitation force > upthrust force then object sinks
->gravitation force < upthrust force then object floats
this upthrust force is equal to weight of the displaced liquid by floated or merged object in liquid.

The Red Fox
Vulpes vulpes
Where do
Red Foxes
come from?
Miacids are ancient mammals that eventually evolved into a number of difference species of animals. Of credit, this mammal developed into bears, wolves, dogs, the mongoose, skunks, and of course, foxes.
Where are Red Foxes found?
Foxes are found on almost all of the continents but were introduced into Australia so they can be hunted for sport.
Where do Red Foxes live?
Red foxes can be found in many parts of the world and can adapt to almost any climate and environment. In North America and Europe, Red Foxes thrive in forested areas. Those Red Foxes found in arid areas are generally smaller.
What do foxes eat?
Like humans, Red Foxes are omnivores but their diets are mainly influenced by food availability. For instance, during the spring-summer months, grubs, insects, rodents, fruits, berries, and grasses are main diet staples. In fall and winter months, Red Foxes usually feed on mice, rabbits and other rodents.
What is the life cycle
of the Red Fox?
Red foxes mating season usually starts around December and can last up to April. The gestation period is relatively quick lasting approximately 50 days and litters can rage from 2 - 10 pups. Foxes do not usually live past eight years old because of so many diseases and parasites. Red fox pups are usually weened when they are only 9 weeks old and are fully grown at about 6 months old.
What about Red Foxes in Pop-culture?
Red foxes are looked upon as cunning and intelligent creatures. Popularized by fables, cartoons, and stories, the red fox has been in our lives from childhood.

Michael Moore picks two films to open fest
'Kids,' 'Nowhere Boy' to kick off Traverse City eventMichael Moore has lined up two films -- Focus' lesbian family dramedy "The Kids Are All Right" and the Weinstein Co.'s "Nowhere Boy," a look at John Lennon's childhood -- to open his sixth annual Traverse City Film Festival.
Moore originally created the fest, held in Traverse City, Mich., to bring films that had gotten limited distribution to the remote lakeside town 250 miles northwest of Detroit. This year's event runs July 27-Aug. 1.
Although "Kids," which opened in seven theaters last weekend, looks like a sure bet to expand throughout the country, "Boy," which the Weinsteins acquired in March, won't be released until October.
Along with "Boy," the fest will pay tribute to the Beatles by screening "A Hard Day's Night" (1964) and "Help!" (1965).
Continuing with a music theme, the fest will offer the documentary "Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage," a chronicle of the heavy metal band; Radu Milaileanu's French feature "The Concert," about a former conductor of the Bolshoi orchestra; and the 1928 silent film "The Last Command," accompanied by the Alloy Orchestra.
The lineup also includes Sabina Guzzanti's "Draquila -- Italy Trembles"; Flip Remunda and Vit Kusak's "Czech Peace"; a salute to Cuban film; and two 3D titles, "Cane Toads: The Conquest" and the concert doc "U2 3D."
Sony Pictures Classics co-head Michael Barker and Tom Bernard have been tapped as honorees.
The University of Michigan also is partnering with the fest for the first time to offer filmmaking classes.

Book DescriptionAt a freshman party she doesn't remember...Jess Jordan was almost raped.
...Almost. Very nearly. Not quite. Three years later, Jess has managed to make everyone believe she's better. Over it. Because she is....Almost. Very nearly. Not quite.
Unfortunately, until Jess proves she's back to normal activities, her parents won't discuss college. So, she lands a summer internship and strikes a deal with hockey jock, Gray Porter: He gets $8,000. She gets a fake boyfriend and a social life.
Jess has no idea Gray signed on for reasons other than money. She also never expects to fall in love. But Gray's amazingly hot, holds her hand all the time, and makes her forget that he's simply doing his job. It's like having a real boyfriend
...Almost. Very nearly. Not quite.
Gray Porter is hiding secrets of his own. About Jess Jordan. About why he's driven to protect her, why he won't cash her checks, or deny her anything she asks.

text: Management of allergic conjunctivitis depends on the clinical form involved. Simple means include artificial tears, physiological serum drops. The therapeutic means are dominated by antihistamines and antidegranulation drugs. These medications are available as local eye drops and sometimes as oral medication. They are really safe except if repeated use ends up in leading to non immediate reactions to additives. Prescription of steroid drops is reserved to the ophthalmologist. Surgery is sometimes required in complicated forms of severe allergic conjunctivitis (VKC and AKC).The allergist can add avoidance measures to this panoply as well as an allergenic hyposensitization in more specific cases.

Another shortcoming....I have been a bad blogger! My mom and one of my sweet friends teases me about it and I mean to get back to it, but the more time that passes-the bigger the task of catching up appears. So, I revamped it and I am going to do better! I think one reason it was hard was because in the beginning I set it up to share our adoption journey. Then, we got our sweet girl and had so many things to celebrate-but many struggles as well. It was hard to blog about the hard parts. I didn't want to disclose too much info with her mom's rights not yet terminated and I didn't want to discourage others who were lead to adopt through foster care and I didn't want to whine. After all, I had been asking friends and family to pray about this for us for months and months. How was I to "complain" now? Well, I will share snapshots of our journey here and there, but I opened up the blog subject to include all parts of our life....family, teaching, faith, friends...life in general! Life is full of lessons....they keep coming each day!
Adoption update for those that don't know....birth mom's rights were terminated in February and we now wait for the judge to bang the gavel to finalize the adoption. It's only a matter of time now! We are overjoyed!

Ahh, water marbling. -crazed laughter-
This was my first time trying this particular nail art technique, and I'm actually very pleased with how it turned out (my left hand, anyway...the right one wasn't so good). If you're looking for a good water marbling tutorial, take a look at this post by Corynn Musser on Lacquerheads of Oz - it helped me a lot!
For this manicure, I used Zoya Rocky, Sinful Colors Why Not and Sinful Colors Endless Blue for the water marble. For my other nails I simply used two coats of OPI Blue My Mind. I don't think I'll be up to doing a full water marble manicure for a while!
Though water marbling is quite time consuming when you first start out and can be very frustrating (what with the polish drying too quickly on the water and not making nice patterns, accidentally smudging everything, polish not cooperating etc etc), the effect it creates is amazing and I got so many compliments! I know it'll get easier with more practise, as well.
I'd love to hear your water marbling stories!
|Base & top coat:
|Base - Duri Rejuvacote
Top - Cult Nails Wicked Fast
|Polish used:
|OPI Blue My Mind - two coats (pinky, index and thumb)
Zoya Rocky - two coats (ring and middle) + water marble
Sinful Colors Why Not - water marble
Sinful Colors Endless Blue - water marble

Celebrity endorsement in advertising (and sometimes PR) is one of the oldest tricks in the book. Since time immemorial, companies have relied on the household recognition, reach and popularity of movie stars, singers, TV actors and sport heroes to gain mileage in the marketing game.
Of all the celebrity commercials out there, the most memorable in my opinion belong to VISA. Few companies have managed to do it with as much style, panache and class as the world's largest payment processor. And I have seen plenty of poorly conceived celebrity ads in my lifetime, especially those slimming ones by whats-its-name beauty parlour.
What strikes me most in VISA's effective use of stars is how they are always portrayed in character, yet with clear visual clues that it is the VISA credit card which "saves the day". Of course, the brilliant cinematography (many of their ads are shot on film), authentic sets and clever acting also helps to move viewers. After all, advertising is all about making an emotional connection.
The most recent example is of course Jackie Chan, whose appearance is linked to VISA sponsoring the upcoming Beijing Olympics in 2008. Here is a television/ movie commercial featuring the world's most famous kung fu star together with Yao Ming, who is probably the most bankrolled Chinese sports star.
Another memorable one is this playful ditty featuring Pierce Brosnan as James Bond as well as Zhang Ziyi, with a tuk tuk rider from hell.
My personal favourite is probably this one featuring Richard Gere in India. It has a nice moral ring to it while being true to Richard Gere's own philanthropic nature.
Have you seen a good celebrity commercial lately?
Tags: advertising, celebrity endorsement, television commercial, VISA
agreed! Visa does it well!
i like ads without celebrities. say Heineken and Carlsberg. + Fed-Ex. Samsung's trying very hard, but not quite there yet.
do johnnie walker ads with its golfers count as pretty okay commercial.
I like the Richard Gere one tho, quite a 'feel good' commercial to add to the celebrity ads.
Tho I did hear of some negative feedbacks on it but..hey!!..its just a commercial…
Seen an nice ads? I think the recent series of Mocca ads were quite funny and very memorable! Even my 16-mth-old baby now goes "There! There!", after the bodybuilder selling his house…
Glad that you agree. I think the best ads not only convey a marketing message but also entertain and engage. Too few companies pay attention to this, probably a result of inadequate marketing budgets and the ever growing pressure of the bottom line.
Yeah I know that Richard Gere does have fans and detractors alike. Some may also say that certain ads have a stereotypical quality. For example, where Zhang Ziyi does a martial arts thingy and goes around kicking, punching and flying in a restaurant (Chinese = martial arts experts). Well, I take such things with a pinch of salt personally as long as the cultural references are not overdone.

13 performances will cover jazz, cabaret, Celtic and more
MIDLAND – From jazz and cabaret to Celtic and gypsy fusion music, Summer Serenade is back for a fourth year of bringing a taste of classical music to Midland.
"The series really offers something for everyone. We've got every genre," said John French, founder of Brookside Music Association, which runs the series.
New to the classics? No problem.
The performers "make it very accessible to the audience. They talk to them and explain a little bit," he said.
What started as small house concerts in French's living room has grown into a full-fledged series funded by Ontario grants and local businesses and individuals.
This year, 13 performances will be held between July 3 and Aug. 28 at various venues in Midland. Click here for details.
The Gryphon Trio, a chamber music ensemble making its second Summer Serenade appearance, will kick things off July 3 at the Midland Cultural Centre.
The Lemon Bucket Orkestra will end the series Aug. 28 at the Boathouse Eatery. The group plays "one-of-a-kind gypsy fusion music" in a lively show, French explained. They gained notoriety in 2012 when a video of them doing an impromptu performance on a delayed Air Canada flight went viral.
"They are in high demand right now," French said.
New this year is the addition of cabaret, and many high-profile performers will also be taking the stage.
French said he hopes Summer Serenade will keep growing and become a tourist attraction for the area.
"We hope we can reach a larger audience now," he said. "We're constantly amazed when people say, 'We didn't know anything about it.'"

"Money doesn't have any value,
some job is a creation,
here is illusions,
and we are the modern slaves of our own mankind."
Strangers in Frame is a series of the people that I encountered during my travels.
It is my personal view about how these people coping to survive and how they still enjoy the smallest details in their daily life with their loved ones.
The world is changing rapidly and it is getting tougher. People around the world end up working as hard as they can to survive, and it is all because of the monetary system, social inequality, and the world's industrial system. Activist have been protesting against austerity and lobbying politicians, but still people cannot feed themselves and their families. Poor and working class people continue to suffer.
What I have captured might not be the most dangerous job on earth, but we are not conscious where there are billion others are doing the same things, struggling to survive the living cost and along the way comes the reality of life, where we forgot to pause our hard work and look what is happening around us. There are children growing up, adults getting older, people getting sick everyday, and suddenly we are no longer here in this world. What does life has to offer? How our monetary system enslaves us? How it can affect us in present and the future generation?
I asked myself that question everyday and I believe there is more that life can offer to these people.
Here are some photographs of what I'm still working on.
Tenggerese villagers struggling to catch offerings such as money, animals, crops and other valuable things thrown in to the volcano by Hindu worshippers during the Yadnya Kasada festival in Mount Bromo, Indonesia. Despite the evident danger, some villagers of poor people and beggars risk climbing down into the crater to retrieve the sacrificed goods, believing that they will bring good luck.

A portrait of an old man known as Made, who lives in front of the Kintamani Lake, located very near with Mount Batur, Bali. The last eruption of Mount Batur was on July 7, 2000, shooting ash 300 meters above the crater. He was there during the eruption happen and he spent most of his life only in Kintamani, working as a fisherman.
A group of vietnamese man take cigarette break and enjoy drinking vietnamese coffee, cà phê after working hour in Ho Chi Minh Town, Vietnam.

Each of the four parts of the keyframe graph area can be displayed or hidden individually, so that you can customize the Timeline view for specific tasks. Additionally, these areas can be displayed or hidden in the video and audio tracks separately.
In the Timeline, Control-click the Clip Keyframes control.
Choose Audio or Video from the shortcut menu to select a keyframe graph area in either kind of track.
From the Audio or Video submenu, choose one of the following:
The keyframe graph areas of each track can be individually resized so that keyframe graphs displayed in the keyframe editor area are more detailed. The keyframe graph area is resized separately from individual tracks.
The filters and motion bars are useful for seeing at a glance the keyframes of one or more clip parameters in the Timeline. You can choose which parameter keyframes are visible in each bar, and you can use the Selection tool to slide these keyframes back and forth in time.
Control-click a motion bar, choose an attribute from the shortcut menu, then choose an item from the attribute's submenu:
Use the Selection tool to drag a keyframe on a motion bar to another position on that bar.
Double-click a blue bar to open that clip in the Viewer with the Motion tab selected.
Double-click a green bar to open that clip in the Viewer with the Filters tab selected.
The keyframe editor allows you to edit the keyframe graph lines belonging to a clip's filter and motion parameters directly in the Timeline. It's ideal for making adjustments that don't require more than one parameter to be displayed simultaneously, especially when you want to make the adjustment in relation to other elements in the Timeline, such as markers and superimposed clips.
Control-click the Clip Keyframes control in the Timeline, choose Video or Audio, then choose Keyframe Editor from the submenu.
Control-click in the keyframe editor area beneath the clip you want to work on, then choose the filter or motion parameter you want to display from the shortcut menu.
Click in the Keyframe Editor Resize column and, with the Resize pointer, drag up or down.
Making adjustments to keyframe graph lines in the Timeline keyframe editor is the same as working in the keyframe graph area of the Filters and Motion tabs in the Viewer.
