Candy Crush Saga Level 2043 tips and video

1) The top spawner won't cover the top blocker unless the cell under it is blocked with licorice. If you make a move that lets that licorice fall out, the spawner will keep putting licorice in that cell and never over the top blocker.
2) You do have to clear one of the lower spawners; they cover the exits.
This is an extremely frustrating level. Thank heaven for boosters; I am very short on patience with CC these days.

this whole last episode been hell
- 11 October 2016 at 11:49
What happens in the video example hasn't happened once for me! The licqourice goes elsewhere and jelly blocks the column. Impossible or fluke of luck needed
- 12 October 2016 at 04:46
First ever post on here to help! :) I hit the top spawner once before it spawns to free up the space just above it - that way it has to be licorice that goes there, not jelly. After that, spend a few moves hitting one of the bottom spawners or setting up combos. Usually the top spawner covers the top blocker with about 7 moves left, leaving you 7 moves during which you need to get one of the bottom two spawners blown up; if you do this with a normal move where it explodes and three jellies need to fall, it can be quick to win. Hope this helps
- 13 October 2016 at 03:53
This is really hell. An awefull episode, amazing, I'm surprised how they can make it this difficult.
The issue here is to not touch the top spwaner and let it get rid of the top blocker. When that is done, work your ass off to get the fruit down. Try to save a wrapped or stripe and mix it with a coulour bomb, use a hand or lolly to make the combination, asap: Cascades make explode your extra's very quick.
Got lucky with a coulor bomb/stripe combination in the last move.
Good luck from the Netherlands!

Used the coconut wheel booster. 1st time the game only gave me 1 wheel, 2nd try and the game gave me many wheels and they did the trick...with 5 moves left.
- 16 October 2016 at 09:22
- cedarberry said...
Brillant hint! Thank you all. I was trying to CLEAR the blocker under the cherry, instead of letting the Evil Spawner turn it into a licorice. It was still kinda hard to finish the level, but wow....it sure helped!! One star, but I'll take it! = )
- 16 October 2016 at 15:02
i spend like more than 20 coconut wheel not even closed, stupid level ! i am sure there will be more stupid and impossible level coming, might as well quit this game now !
- 20 October 2016 at 04:06
I'm done.
- 21 October 2016 at 04:05
I honestly don't understand how to pass this one. I feel very stupid!
- 21 October 2016 at 05:43
I play on iPad and have watched the video several times. I have followed the suggestions and NOT ONCE has the top spawner covered the blocker and turned it into licorice!! And I have totally avoided making matches up there! Is this a glitch?? What am I doing wrong?? I've cleared the lower spawner to create a path but the cream up top never goes away:(
- 21 October 2016 at 10:23
Wasted so many coconut wheels but didn't even come close ..didn't either succeed in the spawner covering the blocker with licorice., so just smashed the blocker with hammers, cleared the upper and one lower spawner, used handswitches and brought the cherry to the exit .Disgusting level..Crossed finally !
- 21 October 2016 at 10:53
I have tried everything and not even close. This is the end of Candy Crush for me.
- 21 October 2016 at 14:46
How many times did you write this comment?
See you next Wednesday...
- 22 October 2016 at 05:22
Nowhere near, at least 50 attempts, well done King, you've broken my candycrush habit, bye bye.
- 22 October 2016 at 06:52
Just finishimg using tablet and had a go at this level found 50 moves available, why the difference phone only 20. Completed 2nd attempt.
- 22 October 2016 at 10:30
Shit level is ridiculous. The top spawner spits out licorice everywhere but where i need it too. This is a joke. Just might be the end of CC for me :(
- 22 October 2016 at 20:39
- Ladilove said...
Patience is the key for this level. You have to keep watching the top of the board for the blocker to get covered with licorice while you work to make special candies and hit one of the two spawners at the bottom. I focused on the one on the right. Once the top blocker got covered with licorice I used special candies to clear and the cherry dropped out. The very first post by Lucia explains clearly. I didn't use boosters. Rather unnecessary. Just don't give up, it will work.

Candy crush use to be fun but this last episode is just to pathetic what happened to the fun levels this level is pure shit
- 23 October 2016 at 11:03
This level is a joke. Licorice has never covered the blocker below the cherry. Frustrating yet again.
- 23 October 2016 at 11:55
Started with a sprinkle and coconut wheel. The coconut broke a layer of icing under cherry, the sprinkle matched with a stripe. Needed 1 lollipop to break a jelly on the exit route. Good luck all, it is possible!!
- 23 October 2016 at 23:17
I'm so sick of this whole saga. The entire thing is luck and not enough movies. I hope candy crush does better because I'm loosing interest.
- 24 October 2016 at 04:57
Well, thanks to this blog, this wasn't nearly as bad as I thought. Tried it in my own a few times, getting no where, read the helpful posts (rolled my eyes at the 'I am giving up on cc' posters, what a bunch of whiners). Played again, totally ignoring the top spinner and working on the bottom two,until I saw a licorice underneath the fruit, then got rid of the top one, the fruit falls and worked on the bottom till it cleared.not easy, but plenty of moves, definitely doable. I don't get why everyone is in such a rush, you are basically at the top of the game levels, relax.
- 24 October 2016 at 15:52
I have played this one many times, I've read the tips many times, I have watched the video WHILE playing the level. I don't understand why I get marmalade instead of licorice under the ingredient. Wtf am I doing wrong?
- 24 October 2016 at 19:58
Same thing l have been also doing but it's a real frustrating level. How do they get ideas to invent such levels. Not able to do. No booster is helping me. Can you help me king?????????????????

Well said, I'm sick of these help pages being full of quitters comments, quit if they want but I'm not interested. This level for once involves some skill as well as luck, which people have been asking for, read the help given if you haven't worked it out, it becomes easier then. It still took me a few days to do it but with careful use of boosters could be done quicker if that's the way you choose.

Has anyone passed on mobile? I had the licorice cover the square once but on pc, never on mobile
- 26 October 2016 at 05:08
- Jane Whyley said...
How I got to this stage is obviously a miracle, clearing the bottom spawns easily , read all the tips no licorice appearing above top spawn . Never not understood how to complete a game doh oh well keep trying I'm sure it will just happen
- 26 October 2016 at 05:24
Got it on the third try after reading the comments without using boosters. Hit the top spawner once then concentrated on hitting the lower spawner without hitting the spawned jelly at the top. The spawner removed the blocker for me with 11 moves left. Then I focused on hitting the top spawner until it blew. Had 1 move left at the end.
Ya'll can do it! Keep trying different things and watch how the top spawner is filling up the board and try to keep a semi-open path to it when the blocker gets gobbled.
- 26 October 2016 at 05:48
This advice is helpful and I follwed it to a T but could never get it to work. On the rare occasions when I could get a licorice under the cherry I was so out of moves I couldn't get it down, as other licorice blocked the exits. Or I couldn't get a stripe up high enough to get it. Most of the time I wasn't even close. Wasted boosters as they were no help. For the first time, I just hammered my way out. Too frustrating.
- 26 October 2016 at 06:20
Honestly this is the worst level I've seen in a long time. This whole episode has been rough, but this one! I finally finished it by doing it on the phone and winning 15 extra moves on the wheel. Good riddance.
- 26 October 2016 at 10:29
Ugly level. Luck needed.

- Elyria said...
Has anyone passed this level on their iphone? I followed what everyone said but it doesn't ever spawn a licorice in that spot so I'm stumped.
- 27 October 2016 at 05:52
- Alison McBrearty said...
Great tip about hitting the top spawner once and then moving to the bottom to let the licorice build up, took a good 20 tries to get it right as top kept producing matches without trying but eventually got there.
- 27 October 2016 at 14:41
Found this pretty much impossible on my iPhone and got 2 stars on my first try on PC.
Just play on PC when you get a chance and move on with your lives!

I finally passed with no boosters to start...do NOT make any matches by the top spawner so it continues to grow licorice...keep working on knocking out the lower spawner (I pretty much only played the right side)...once you see 2 licorice above the top spawner..work to blow that up...the candy dropped...had to use one hammer to lower candy again and got lucky to make a match by the last licorice to drop the candy with only 1 move left. Starting boosters didn't help me at all. Good luck.

- Doreen Price said...
Used the coconut wheel it was useless lucky board please
- 30 October 2016 at 03:38
The only nice thing I can say about this level is that it's given me a chance to use some of my many coconut wheels, however, I've now given up on them as they are useless.
Have tried not hitting the top spawned but time and time again I only have two moves left by time the licorice has done its job. Will keep trying but the fun has gone out of it now. K
- 30 October 2016 at 04:10
- Mlssrn said...
100% key to this level is to keep the Spinners intact and don't hit any of the blockers at all until they are covered with licorice. Then hopefully with some luck you will have about 7 moves to clear Licorice/jelly and set fruit free.

Why do we always have to wait for a lucky board these days. Not fun anymore

Another impossibly boring, frustrating level. I get marmalade not liquorice so cannot free the fruit!
- 30 October 2016 at 20:24
Came amazingly close for the first time ever today, only needed one more move or a lollipop hammer or free switch but don't have any left after so many horrible levels. Will I ever get this close again? Feeling very frustrated. K
- 31 October 2016 at 14:12
Wow! My last comment seems to have done the trick, I've finally finished this horrible level without boosters and with many thanks to the tips from everyone here. K
- 31 October 2016 at 15:22
Well there is more than one way to kill a cat. I managed to combine colour and wrap and blew up two spawners and most of the blocks. Cleared the third spawner shortly after and the fruit popped out. Done
Good luck from Manila
- 2 November 2016 at 02:59
Posting for luck while I try to stockpile several pounds of hammers. Not once has licorice covered the top blocker.
- 9 November 2016 at 12:00
Went crazy and "brute forced" my way through it this morning. Took 5 hammers and two switch hands. Two stars. Not proud of it, but it's in the rear view mirror now.

Three days, hours of free play, 20 coconut wheels! Used all 3 boosters, got chocolate ball next to stripe twice, destroyed top spinner and bottom one, was prepared to use hammer, but passed, good riddance to bad rubbish!
- 16 November 2016 at 20:53
I read and watched the video. Got my lucky board which kept gifting me wheels but I still couldn't win.
I must not be understanding this game. Feeling really dumb.
- 17 November 2016 at 15:25
Took me forever! Used a few coconut wheels and a hammer at the end. Getting bored with these levels! Laurie
- 18 November 2016 at 15:39
That'a it. I officially suck.

I think this really is it for me.

Help came and I still lost.. tear
I can't remember when I had so much trouble understanding how to beat a level. In a past even if I couldn't beat for a long time, at least I knew what I had to do. But this one I'm just clueless still.

If I had a ton of lollipops I'd just get rid of the top blocker - but I'd probably need at least 30... I've tried all these hints and I'm nowhere. This is the worst one yet. Plain stupid!!!

It's not you - it's this stupid level.
- 3 December 2016 at 00:52
I am personally having trouble understanding this level. If I could get licorice to cover the blocker I may have a chance but how do you get licorice I only seem to get jelly or the candy falls through and I am left with a blank space. One in every 10 games I delete only half way through am I missing something?
- 3 December 2016 at 10:00
- Anonymous said...
Forget this stupid crap game. I had it totally down next to where I blew the spawned away and it wouldn't go down the one last spot. POS game. No game should ever be this damn frustrating.
- 3 December 2016 at 23:22
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I had wasted dozens of boosters and lives on this level and figured it was impossible. Once I stopped trying to keep everything clear and get rid of the top and bottom spawners, but concentrated on the one bottom spawner it worked like a charm. No booster needed. Three games to get the licorice etc to behave and done.
- 10 December 2016 at 08:04
It just sort of happened for me on the fifth attempt. Up till then I could get one of the bottom spawners but couldn't clear the blocker over the top one. I don't know why but the licorice didn't eat it but even if it had I couldn't get a stripe lined up to clear it. Final go I cleared one blocker at the bottom and also the top one. The fruit dropped down and I had a match with the next move to get the fruit off.

I was hoping to get to the end of Candy Crush, but these last 10 or so levels are just annoying. This is right on the pile. Plus, it is not even rated as a Hard level. I give up Candy Crush for Lent every year. Hopefully, I won't start playing again!

- Gudrun said...
Euhm, second try? I blasted the top spawner first, and in detonating, it blew the blockers and dropped the fruit. Then I cleared one of the other spawners, and the fruit got cleared, three moves left.

I tried Cookie's strategy dozens of times and that top blocker was never covered with licorice. So I changed my approach and matched a striped with a color bomb at the beginning of the game that knocked out the blocker and allowed the cherry to slip down next to the top magic mixer. After that, I had an easy time getting the cherry down with a combo.
- 27 March 2017 at 09:41
Guess they made it easier as all I did was hit the top spawner until it exploded and the fruit dropped. Then did same to one bottom spawner and bingo with 13 moves left.
- 25 April 2017 at 06:54
fruit keeps getting stuck in marmalade
- 26 April 2017 at 10:13
King may have revamped this level or I got a lucky board because I have to disagree with most of the posted suggestions especially cookies. I tried following them and got nowhere. Finally I used a coconut wheel which arrived at the top right hand of the board. It knocked out the tile blocking the cherry and hit the top spawner. After a number of moves I got another coconut wheel on top left and other moves that destroyed to spawner. Cherry simply slid down. Totally easy. So I would give that method a try by resetting coconut wheel until it's at the top and then destroy that top spawner and see if it works for you too

Luckily got a chocolate sprinkle next to a wrap, that sent the cherry down and knocked out 2 spawners. Got the last one and won with 9 moves left.

- Christine Zito said...
Terrible level. Thank goodness I had boosters. I Finally used a stripe/candy combo and kept resetting until the wrapped candy appeared under the blocker. I then used a hammer and blasted the candy and the blocker; the ingredient fell ! Used moves to break the bottom spawner, then used the switch hand to get it to fall all the way down,
Anything to get out of this level!
- 24 July 2017 at 19:24
Very frustrating level. Just give me my lucky board. I just want to get out of this level.
- 28 October 2017 at 17:43
Reading the comments i dont even try, go on with my other games. Cc is the last game i play, wonder for how long!
- 24 November 2017 at 13:36
Finally got it by hitting top spawner twice in beginning (didnt worry about licorice or marmalade) then hit bottom spawner till one was gone then went back to hit the top one till it exploded. Then cherry went down and I only had to hit one more candy till it dropped. No boosters, don't have any. It's just where the candies let you move. You will pass!

Got it first try starting a free CB, the first helmet, & a coconut wheel booster, 11 moves left. The first move the coconut wheel was on the bottom, so I gad it go up and hit the look lower spawners. Two moves look later switched a CB with a stripped. Final move was hitting the right lower spawner with a wrapped, allowing the fruit to drop through.

It's not everyone's idea for the division of duties but, for us, it works.
And our MO is no different when it comes to childcare, trying to be as accommodating and fair as possible. I run at 7 a.m. Saturday, he's off to the Y at 9. I let him sleep in, I get an hour for a pedicure. He has a guy's night, I bank brownie points for overnight relays.*
So when he had a guy's night among an already packed weekend, I was a bit frustrated. "What about me? What about my time?" I thought ... and then whined ... out loud. I had a brief moment that could only be labeled as "Kim playing the martyr" before I came to my senses.
I told Mark that I needed an hour to exercise Saturday afternoon. Like the good man he is, he offered to take the boys shopping so I could have uninterrupted time.
The day was the first one that resembled summer in nearly two months, with the mercury passing 90 for the first time since September. It would have been nice to do my long run then but it wouldn't be fun or safe. But I wanted to coat myself in NAAWK and feel the sun on my face, the breeze on my skin.
My road bike, Peaches, is still on the trainer where I abandoned it in February. {Tip: Road bike + pregnant belly = no good.} I'm a good for nothing cyclist and would need Mark to take it off and put on the tire to ride it. It's a favor I'll call in soon but I didn't want to push my luck on Saturday. But, a ride is a ride and I had one in the form of my Trek hybrid.
I pumped up the tires, adjusted a brake line and wiped down the frame. It was beautiful. And I was ready.
For me, riding bike is not so much about exercise, hitting a certain mph or watts (assuming I know WTF watts are). It's about being outside and feeling myself move. It's about seeing my usual trail from a new perspective. It's about being free and feeling young again.
Ha. Young. Good thing you can't see all of my white hairs.
I rode about 7 miles on a nearly empty trail, going this way and that. It was the most fun I had had in some time. Except for the part where I encountered a huge flock of geese. Geese scare me. Actually, all birds scare me. I biked like hell then and prayed that one of the mamas did not hiss or charge at me.
I returned to an empty house but I felt full. I had a smile on my face, sweat on my brow and fresh rain on my hair. The latter was thanks to a brief summer storm.
When the boys came charging in 45 minutes later, I was ready and happy to be Mom again.

On Public Figures, Online Presences, and Privacy ChoicesShare
I also did not consider that some of these angry people might be unstable or violent.
I wear an additional hat these days, which is that of an academic researcher and teacher. Folks in academia often choose to work from within the safe confines of a university setting, and while I used to wonder why so few academics engage in more public forums, these days I better understand this sort of decision.
What kind of people willingly subject themselves to the personal attacks and vitriolic idiocy that sometimes accompanies work outside the university?
Take for example the case of University of Toledo professors Dr. David Black and Dr. Oleg Smirnov, whose academic reputations were attacked by city unions via public billboards and in print before the professors fought back and successfully forced the unions to remove the defamatory signs. Hired by the city to perform revenue projections, the professors were subjected to an onslaught of politically motivated and baseless attacks before deciding to hire lawyers to end the harassment and libel.
As a semi-public figure I have found myself on the receiving end of all sorts of harassment and threats by lunatics who happened to disagree with something I have written as a journalist or as a blogger. Neo-Nazis, union goons, and political zealots are just the tip of the metaphorical iceberg of angry idiots who think that I am some sort of enemy because my views on a given topic might disagree with theirs - even on a topic as innocuous as Franke sinks - and who will engage in cyber-terror and real-world harassment to silence you.
At times I have toyed with returning to a completely private life. By shutting down this blog, erasing public Internet profiles, and changing my telephone number I could in a matter of months eliminate the threat of running into the rare-but-real deadly stalker types who occasionally take their anger to the level of murder. This may have been the case with the nutjob who was arrested yesterday after threatening to murder the family of Dr. Drew Pinsky.
Even participating on local message boards and blogs can be a source of harassment to people like me who have the audacity (or naïveté) to write under their own names. On one local board several anonymous members posted all sorts of vile nonsense simply because my take on a single issue happened to disagree with theirs. One poster threatened to publish my private information that he dug up, while another accused me of brainwashing my university students because one of them happened to stick up for me in an off-topic accusation that I am some sort of Marxist educator who is poisoning the minds of the youth of America.
Mind you: I am a pro-Second Amendment, low taxes type of person, sort of a blend between a fiscal conservative and social moderate. God forbid I should happen to be a public person who posts political sentiments farther to the political left.
So to those of you contemplating a more public persona or an online presence using your real name: there are plenty of loons and thugs who will harass and torment you. Some of these contemptible people will also cross over to the real world and harass you in your home, at your place of employment, or even dupe government agencies into investigating you.
Be forewarned.

* all sorts of harassment and threats*- yes and i am sure you knew you gonna have it from the very beginning. i was semi-public figure working as model, then i moved to israel and after few publications in local magazines i started to get black mails and other bullshit like this that i was not ready for. but you do much more important thing- you express tolerant, smart, intelligent opinion about situation in the world, so such things dont have to prevent you from writing)))

Yeah Mike, what she said.
From Dr. Drew: Dr. Drew also says Pearson believes Dr. Drew has placed a tracking device in his genitals.
Any number of pithy comments come to mind, but I will assert my self-control and save your some suffering. Tell me, are the mental midgets from SB on your case again?
I was enjoying a writer's block until I read your post, then I became inspired (see the link here).

Thanks for the kind words - when I am down about the latest round of virtual or real world abuse, it always helps to balance the insanity with thoughtful comments. Thank you.

No, the SB loons are behaving (at least this week). I have been spending less time on that site simply because any disagreements with some of that site's posters turn into situations that border on the problematic. For some reason that particular site has been attracting some unstable people from all sides of the political spectrum.
Today's post had more to do with a pair of emails that I will not dignify by responding to in public. Nothing particularly criminal or insane, but they caught me on a day when I was already bummed.
- Thursday, March 04, 2010 7:57:00 PM
This is why I don't use my real name or any identifying info on the local sites. Scary to think that someone with too much time on his/her hands could track you down and stalk you!
Its unfortunate, because I'm sure there are people who I'd enjoy meeting. But its just not worth the risk!

Dr. Brooks.
Don't change a thing you have many more supporters than nut jobs who frequent your blog.
As someone who is currently affected by a death threat, I have recently questioned the amount of personal information I and others have readily available on the web. While my identity is not as open as yours on your site, anyone that is half savvy can find me.
I refuse to completely change the way I do things, and what I write about, but it has caused me to question privacy issues and what we are giving up to live in such an open society.

Thanks for the advice and reminder, and sorry to hear about your own dealings with the mentally unstable types for whom an Internet blog post or op-ed article is an invitation to violence.

Actually I wish I had written something that inspired someone that much. This is more of a lunatic who thinks I was having relations with his wife. Completely unfounded. One woman is always more than enough.

Coming And Going
It was also my last time bringing out the tsui-ching. Naturally I was thinking back to my first time with it, when we entered Liping as the shuso (I wasn't writing the blog then, but I reflected on it a year later). Today as well I reminded myself not to be in a rush, as we said goodbye to Konin (not for the first time, as I find this, looking for the other posts I am linking to, which also has a fuller description of the ceremony). She being quite adept, we had not discussed the form for the ceremony ahead of time, and I noticed I was a little disappointed when I came back round to the tsui-ching after the jundo to find she had turned to face Blanche. Normally, making the announcement face to face is the strongest part of the ceremony for me. My voice, which can range between fierce (my impression anyway) and soft (how I remember it with Roxie, for instance), seemed plain straight-forward this time. Vicki asked the questions, which Konin handled deftly, and Blanche gave the stirring goodbyes for us.
Senior staff were scheduled to have lunch together today, to mark the dissolution of this particular incarnation with its built-in European majority - we were saying goodbye to Konin, Rose the tenzo, who is going back to Switzerland for a year to be a grandmother, and myself. Luckily, we avoided any embarrassing speechifying, and just got to enjoy the good food and the good company.

I thought your last day as Ino was next Saturday - how come you won't be seating in the Ino seat this week?
I've lost count of the number of times this has happened to me (and others). It's as if the Universe knows a transition is about to take place and throws a curve ball on that last time.
Thanks for your insight and teachings. I wonder if you realize the impact you've had as Ino both in and outside of this blog.

Thanks Shonen for your words.
Since we have interim this coming week, we are not obliged to follow the schedule, and I am happy to take the break - even if it is my last week.
- August 26, 2012 at 7:44 PM
Shundo, your words and photos have touched me and taught me. I will miss your voice on these pages. Maybe you will have another blog we can read? (hint, hint). I wish you the best in your next zen adventure.

She asked me, what it was I liked to write about.
Without missing a beat, "you do it for the love of it. Because you can't help it. News reporting and writing aren't the same" *cue eye roll*
But then, I think I had an answer.(I'll admit it hit me at four o'clock on a Monday- my preferred time for plans of grandeur)
There is nothing more evocative, intriguing and repelling than people. Ironical companionship and deliberately smudged boundaries. Incomplete sentences with loaded subtext.
Whispers of complications which acknowledge simplicity. Varying portions of lies, masks, vulnerabilities and dreams .Shaken, not stirred
There is nothing more fascinating than human relationships.The deviancies , and sometimes, begging lack thereof.
Raw, beautiful, throbbing everyday conflict between Messers You and You.
Desperate belief timed to activate when desperation sets in; rather than something worth believing coming around. Smudges of personalities consciously wiping off on each other. Daily abortion of old selves.
People. Just people all around.
Either at war or in a passionate, gnarly entanglement with their own psyche.
That's what I like to write about.
Isn't that what anyone ever wrote about ?

Visitings during Christmas
Is luck on your side?
Anyway, maybe lottery is not for me, maybe I should try some luck for some Free gifts instead. Talking about free gifts, I came across a unique online reverse-auction or low bid online game where winners can win prizes from a wide range of products by offering the most unique lowest bid. Some of the free gifts include portable iPod PA system, New York broadway show, $1,000 Grocery Store Gift Card, Samsung Q1 Mobile PC w/GPS, trip to the Big Game in Glendale SB XLII, Nintendo Wii and many more. So should you fancy for some really cool free gifts, why not try the user friendly and easy to play online reverse-auction game at bid4prizes.com. Who knows you might end up bringing home some really great prizes!! Furthermore, thanks to the advanced technology, you can have the options of playing it online or via your mobile. How convenient especially if you're always on the go! Oh did I also mentioned that there are daily winners and bidders can also win tokens for arcade games that they could win instant prizes starting from $100 to $1 million dollars?? And if you're wondering, you can participate Bid4Prizes FOC or simply pay a $9.90 a month for extra benefits like free monthly ringtone, cell phone bidding with no advertisement being displayed while bidding online. What a unique and interesting game huh...

Office Xmas gift Xchange..
We had a small gathering at the office for the annual gift exchange on Wednesday. Only a handful of us gals joined this year but we never fail to celebrate it with joy and happiness. All in the spirit of Christmas :)
The cakey and the pressies!!
After picking my number, I've got the BIG present from Anne and eagerly opened it up soon after...
As usual, the cheeky Anne never fail to play some pranks and what did I get as part of the gifts in the BIG gift box...KOTEX????
Nice candle holder

Airway infection
We brought him to the paed on Wednesday and he was given antibiotics, flu and cough medicines. But this morning we were a bit worried as his breathing seemed to be a bit heavy. So again we went to the paed just to have another check on him. The paed told us that the heavy breathing is due to the heavy mucus in his chest. It was quite bad that the paed said it is better to use the nebulizer on him so that the medicine will go straight to his lung to loosen the mucus in his chest. Best not to prolong the situation in order to prevent him from getting asthma too. Consequently, we were also asked to bring Ethan back to the clinic this evening to see if he needs another dosage using the nebulizer.
Ethan was still breathing quite heavily this morning. It got us both worried and so decided to bring him back to the paed just to check on him again...But as we were about to step out from the house, Ethan vomited and a large portion of the vomit was his mucus!! Thank goodness his breathing improved a lot after he had vomited the mucus out! Thus we decided we'll only go to the paed this evening....Despite the airway infection, Ethan is his usual active, playful and cheerful self though he seems to have lost a bit of his appetite...with the irritating mucus and cough...can't blame him right...hope my poor baby will get well soon....
Pleasant Xmas surprise
They were really cute Xmas gifts from a dear friend and an ex-colleague (we shared the same cubicle space hee..) of mine when I was working in Singapore previously!! Yay!!! :)
I didn't waste much time in using one of the gifts huh..hee...
Me & SL at the former National Reference Libray at Stamford Road, Singapore (2004).

Wouldn't it be good if...
Anyway, even though I was up till the wee hours, surprisingly I was able to wake up at 6.30am on Sunday. Not that I want to wake up that early, just that I had an online class at 7.30am. I even managed to do one load of laundry, folded Ethan's clothes and had cereal breakfast before I login for my online class :) I am thankful that I don't have to physically attend lectures at the university. Since the university offers online tutorial class, I can just login to the system and listen to my lecturer or read his chat text and reply to him via chat in my pyjama at home. I can even take a peek at Ethan once a while just to check if he's awake for his morning feed and hang the laundry in between the online tutorial. However, I do sometimes wish that the online class can be more real and interesting whereby I'm able to see not only my lecturer's face but also my coursemates (who are mostly in Kelana Jaya centre). Wouldn't it be good if the university have Video Conference Equipment . What's more if they implement a video communication solution that allows natural face to face teleconferencing experience as offered by LifeSize.

I wished and still wishing...
Some places became my vacation destinations simply because I have friends or relatives who were studying or staying in that particular area. One particular destination was Cardiff in Wales because one of my closest friends were studying there. I remember going to some tourist attractions in Cardiff which include the Cardiff Castle, the famous Llandaff cathedral, Millennium Stadium and others. I didn't need to find any cardiff hotels at that time as I just bunked in with my friend which is a normal student practice ;p
Being in the UK then, there are many places that I wished to go but unable to do so because $$ was pretty scarce during university life :( Some of the places and tourist attractions that I wanted to visit but didn't manage to were Dublin in Ireland; St. James park in Newcastle; and the museums in Leeds. These are just within UK, there are plenty of places outside of UK that I wished I could visit too. Anyway, I will need to look around for dublin hotels , newcastle hotels and leeds hotels when the time is right. But I guess, for now, I'll just have to wait till I strike lucky with the lottery since it is much more expensive to travel from Malaysia now!! Sigh...

...and obviously, his thumb still seems to be his favourite! ;p
Pay Per Post
How did I know about PPP? Well, my interest in PPP began prior to my "conversion" to being a blogger. In fact, PPP was one of the main reasons why I started a blog. Previously, I was merely blog hopping and it was through blog hopping that I first got to know about PPP. I've read blogs that described about it and how some people managed to get additional incomes via PPP. Some even blogged about their cool purchases thanks to their PPP income e.g. laptop, SLR camera, ipod, mobile phone,baby stuff etc etc. Basically, PPP is a program that you can join and get paid for blogging. At first I was sceptical about it till I saw the amount of $$ that one of my closest friend's sister managed to get from PPP. That together with the fact that this very same friend is also earning pretty good income from PPP has helped me to make up my mind. I thought to myself, no harm in trying right. I could always do it during the nights when my precious is already asleep. So that persuaded me to start a blog and making sure I fulfilled the basic requirements of PPP before submitting my blog :) Now that my blog is finally approved, I may just be able to fulfill my dream of purchasing a DSLR camera!!! Yippie!! Thanks payperpost for this wonderful opportunity!! :)

Game of Thrones - and Shields
This is the art of the throne which supported a seated Giant in the frieze of the Siphnian Treasury at Delphi. The Treasury dates from the Archaic period and is one of the most interesting sculptural gems in the sanctuary.
What makes the vase and the frieze interesting is that, as well as showing thrones supported by miniature Caryatids, they both also have the figures labelled - and despite this, they both have created iconographic conundrums for scholars.
Whilst vases were regularly labelled with names, this was rarer in architectural sculpture after the Archaic period, and the use of labels on fourth century and Hellenistic monuments can be seen as an archaising feature.
This photograph by Josh Clark (source) of the warriors on the Siphnian frieze shows how they were named on the edges of their shields so that they could be identified by the onlooker:
Although inscriptions ceased to be popular on architectural sculpture after the Persian Wars, paint probably continued to be used. Ancient sources such as Pausanias could 'identify' the figures in pediments, and this, along with the tales told by sanctuary guides, is one logical explanation.
Real shields were of course inscribed when they were dedicated, for example those that Alexander the Great attached to the external frieze of the Parthenon.
For those interested in learning more about Delphi, I highly recommend Michael Scott's brilliant recent book:

Title: PRINCE CHARMING
Author: SARA CELI
Author: SARA CELI
School. Tests. Scholarships. Goals.
Senior class overachiever Geoff Miller thought he had it all figured out. All he needed to do was make it through the next six months, graduate, and get on with his life.
College at the University of Virginia beckoned him-- and he just wanted to put the last horrible four years at Heritage High School in the "done" folder.
Geoff just didn't count on one thing: Laine Phillips.
For years, Geoff crushed on Laine from afar. He didn't think she even knew he was alive. In fact, the obsession seemed to him like a distraction from an unhappy life in a snobby Greater Cincinnati suburb.
Until the day that all changed. And when it did, this unlikely Prince Charming got a chance to make his move.
This is a Mature Young Adult Romance. Not suitable for younger readers. Contains sexual references and profane language.

So I have been in a book and writing funk lately - okay fine, in a life funk actually. Funking life. Lol. And I am really having a hard time finding books that would get me out of this crazy and not fun stage of being a bookworm. The sweet Mia Sheridan recommended this book on her page and so I gave it a chance...
Well, I shouldn't be less honest here right? When I saw the cover of Prince Charming I was like "Holy #^$#^%&*! Who is this guy?! Where does he live?! Why isn't he marrying me?! Wait, why isn't he my husband yet?!" I needed to get my butt into one-clicking mood. And so I did. Because of the recommendation. No really, because of the book cover. There's no one more perfect to be a prince charming but this guy on the cover. So very Geoff Miller.
Now, enough with the cover talk. I feel dehydrated because of all the drooling I'm doing every single time I see this cover. It's so damn perfect it should be illegal! Like seriously.
PRINCE CHARMING - a nice, charming short read about a geeky guy. Did someone say GEEKY?! Oh boyyyy, I've always love me some geeky guys! They will always have a soft spot in my ever flirty heart. After I've seen the cover and found out on the blurb that this book is about a nerd and is solely told from the guys POV, the decision has been made: you can kiss my ass book funk.
Geoff Miller - our conflicted prince charming. Why do I say conflicted? It's not because he's a broken boy in this story - but it's mainly because of his character alone. When he's around his friends and step-brothers, he's all high and mighty, like everyone's below his IQ level. Maybe he's just conceited like that, or maybe he's just really tired of all the high school drama. But when he's around Laine, the insecurity switch is flipped on automatically, all confidence down the drain. At times Geoff was becoming a frustrating character, but a very believable one. I believe we've all gone through high school bullshit once in our lives and I for sure can say that there are more dramas in high school than we can ever imagine. Agree?
Another thing I loved about this book is the humor. I found myself literally laughing out loud in the middle of the night like I've gone nuts. I was actually afraid I'd wake up the neighborhood. I love the type of books that makes my heart flutter in a very light, teenage-ry way. With million of books released everyday since indie exploded, sometimes it could get tiring to read books with the same themes. Themes like let's-fuck-with-this-girl's-emotions-up or frustrate-the-hell-out-of-the-reader-until-she-throws-the-book-away or sometimes even themes where you actually question the existence of humanity. With me experiencing quarter-life crisis and all the shit that comes with it, I honestly don't need those types of book right now and I am so thankful I found PC. It was a breathe of fresh air! Hallelujah!
Prince Charming isn't exactly a trip down the memory lane but I could actually consider it as something like that of a throwback Thursday or a flashback Friday stuff. ;) It is very relatable because once in our lives, if not been, then we've known a Geoff or a Laine or an Evan during high school.
Here is my playlist for Prince Charming (sorry we don't have Spotify here in the Philippines!):
Treasure - Bruno Mars
All I Ever Wanted - Brian Melo
Kiss Me Slowly - Parachute
Must Have Done Something Right - Resilient K
She's So High - Tal Bachman
Love Is A Verb - John Mayer
Days after I finished reading PC, Treasure played on my phone while I was sound trippin', and guess who popped up to my mind? Yep, Prince Geoff. So I had no choice but to put this on top of the list. ;) I chose All I Ever Wanted as Geoff's other song for Laine because of the lines below that remind me of the scene in the hotel. And everyone who have read this book, come tell me this isn't the perfect song for that scene. ;)
"Slow down, make it last,
I'm having the time of my life.
And take a photograph,
I don't wanna leave this behind.
What seems so out of reach........"

I hope you all had a lovely Easter weekend -- I know Peanut Butter sure did (photos on the way soon!) Sadly, it came to my attention that a lot of my friends were served rabbit on Sunday, and I just can't wrap my head around it. Please consider perhaps making food in the shape of rabbits instead of eating the real thing...

Starting this one off with multiple apologies. One apology for the lack of a Monday column. Decided to hang out late at a Memorial Day BBQ on Sunday night, so took Memorial Day off. This is probably going to be something I do with holidays most of the time, though with more notice in the future. Usually going to miss the day after the holiday, as I write my columns the night before.
The second apology, is to all those who went with Vance Worley on Sunday night. He cost me ERA and WHIP in my week eight matchup on Sunday night, and I'm sure some of you readers got bit as well. I had no reason to think he'd be bad here but he just didn't have his control on Sunday night. Hopefully you had also played Dempster, who delivered a fully solid start in all aspects while grabbing a win. If you were in a deep league and went with Guillermo Moscoso, the ERA wasn't pretty, but the WHIP was good and he picked up a win for you.
Starting week nine here late on Tuesday. Today's recommended pitcher that's available in at least fifty percent of leagues is coming up...

906) Rules of Political Correctness : Israeli-Arab Conflict
As the conflict in Lebanon gathers momentum, the theatre of war is not limited bordering lands or the skies but the internet-savvy people from both the sides have brought it to the world wide web, attacking each others' stated positions, lamenting the bigotry of those who do not agree with their views and accusing the media of biased coverage, etc.
Almost anything goes and the medium increasingly in vogue is 'blogging'. Its personal, easy to write as well as read, enjoys increasing popularity and is devoid of any restriction and rules on style, manner or content.
Abdullah, a Lebanese youth living in Beirut bemoans that Lebanon is being held responsible for the conflict in his blog titled "Double standards: sad but true" that strikes one for its ironic tone.
Below is an excerpt from Abdullah's blog.
Food for thought: Why is it OK for the USA to send bombs to Israel and first aid to Lebanon, at the same time???
It is with your bombs that Lebanese civilians are being hurt, and now we are supposed to treat them with your first aid supplies???
Rule # 1 : In the Middle East, it is always the Arabs that attack first, and it's always Israel who defends itself. This is called "retaliation".
Rule # 2: The Arabs, whether Palestinians or Lebanese, are not allowed to kill Israelis. This is called "terrorism"
Rule # 3: Israel has the right to kill Arab civilians, this is called "self-defense", or these days "collateral damage".
Rule # 4: When Israel kills too many civilians. The Western world calls for restraint. This is called the "reaction of the international community".
Rule # 5: Palestinians and Lebanese do not have the right to capture Israeli military, not even a limited number, not even 1 or 2.
Rule # 6: Israel has the right to capture as many Palestinians as they want (Palestinians: around 10000 to date, 300 of which are children, Lebanese: 1000s to date, being held without trial). There is no limit; there is no need for proof of guilt or trial. All that is needed is the magic word: "terrorism"
Rule # 7: When you say "Hezbollah", always be sure to add "supported by Syria and Iran"
Rule # 8 : When you say "Israel", never say "supported by the USA, the UK and other European countries", for people (God forbid) might believe this is not an equal conflict
Rule # 9: When it comes to Israel, don't mention the words "occupied territories", "UN resolutions", "Geneva conventions". This could distress the audience of Fox.
Rule # 10: Israelis speak better English than Arabs. This is why we let them speak out as much as possible, so that they can explain rules 1 through 9. This is called "neutral journalism".
Rule # 11: If you don't agree with these rules or if you favor the Arab side over the Israeli side, you must be a very dangerous anti-Semite. You may even have to make a public apology if you express your honest opinion (isn't democracy wonderful?)

*Note: the batter was a bit thick, so I added some extra water and a little bit of Silk Vanilla Coconut Milk. The cupcakes were good, a little too moist for my taste though- I cooked them from 20 minutes. Next time I will add all coconut milk (no water to thin) and cook a few minutes longer.
Even with the flaws, TJ loved them (and so did the adults that ate them too!)

A little bit of local knowledge finally paid big dividends for Luke Donald during the final round of the BMW Championship.
The Englishman carded a 5-under 66 Monday at Conway Farms – where Donald is a member – to vault inside the top 30 in the FedEx Cup points race, earning a berth in this week's Tour Championship despite starting the third playoff event ranked 54th in the overall standings.
Needing a top-five finish in Chicago to advance, Donald produced a final-round effort that left him in a four-way tie for fourth, five shots behind winner Zach Johnson. The points from that result allowed him to jump 25 spots into the 29th position, ensuring a berth in next week's 30-man field at East Lake by the slimmest of margins.
BMW Championship: Articles, videos and photos
Donald's final round wasn't without drama. He bogeyed the 16th hole to sit right on the top-30 bubble, but he moved back in with a 6-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole. His 3-footer for par on the final green sealed his spot in Atlanta.
Donald has only recently begun seeing swing coach Chuck Cook, who also works with Jason Dufner, and the Englishman has already seen some benefits. For the week, Donald was tied for first in approach proximity to the hole.
"I'm certainly starting to see a payoff," he said. "I'm hitting it a lot better – being in more fairways, hitting more greens, and just giving myself less work for par."
Donald wasn't the only player to vault into the top 30 thanks to a high finish at Conway Farms. Nick Watney, who carded Monday's low round with a 6-under 65, moved from 34th all the way to 12th thanks to his runner-up finish. With Donald and Watney moving inside the number, two players were forced out: Harris English, who dropped from 28th to 31st after finishing 50th in this week's 70-man field, and Lee Westwood, who fell from 30th to 41st overall after finishing 67th in Chicago.
Dustin Johnson ended up with the 30th and final ticket to next week's season finale, finishing with 1,468 total points – only 26 points ahead of English. Australia's Matt Jones, who missed a 10-foot putt for birdie on the 18th hole Monday, finished 32nd; had he holed his birdie putt on the final green, the 33-year-old would have earned a spot at East Lake, along with berths in each of next season's first three majors.
Thanks to his tie for 11th, world No. 1 Tiger Woods overtook Henrik Stenson for the top seed in the standings heading into the season finale in Atlanta. Stenson dropped to second, followed by Adam Scott, BMW champion Johnson and Matt Kuchar. All five men will control their own destiny at East Lake, meaning a win would also net them the season-long FedEx Cup title and a $10 million bonus.

February 09, 2012
Contact: News Office (415) 502-6397
Recent media reports about one of UCSF's kidney transplant candidates have contained confusing and incorrect information about the University's policy for evaluating kidney transplant candidates, in particular for undocumented individuals.
Protecting patient privacy is paramount at UCSF, but today Jesus Navarro has authorized release of a joint statement with UCSF Chief Medical Officer Dr. Josh Adler.
UCSF is dedicated to providing the highest quality, safest treatment for all of its patients. The University has tremendous compassion for patients, and their families, who face the very difficult issues related to kidney failure. While for some of these patients transplants can be lifesaving, transplant surgery is the starting point of a lifetime of medical care and treatment, including daily use of costly anti-rejection drugs.
UCSF does not reject transplant candidates based on their immigration status and has performed transplants on undocumented individuals. These patients are not refused treatment. Rather, UCSF refers them to community-based and other external services that can help them address issues related to specific access-to-care hurdles faced by non-citizens. Of particular concern is their lack of easy access to the health insurance necessary to receive proper post-transplant follow up. Follow-up care is critical to transplant patients, who otherwise may lose the organ and become less healthy than they were on dialysis.
While the patients resolve those problems, they remain on the transplant waiting list.
February 8, 2012
UCSF is committed to helping Jesus Navarro and all kidney transplant candidates achieve their goal of a transplant. On Tuesday, we jointly developed a plan that we hope will secure for Mr. Navarro the health coverage he needs for his care during transplant surgery and beyond, including costly anti-rejection medications. While that plan is pursued, he will remain on the transplant list, as was always the case, and will continue to accrue time toward a transplant.
Last May, Mr. Navarro met with UCSF medical, social work and financial staff in preparation for a potential kidney transplant. Like many others, he had been on the UNOS (United Network for Organ Sharing) waiting list for a long time, in his case more than six years. Mr. Navarro still had one year or more until he would reach the top of the UNOS list and UCSF's standard procedure calls for reviewing patients at that time to ensure they are still good candidates for a future transplant.
As of today, he still is not at the top of the list, but is expected to reach the top in three to six months.
During the May visit to UCSF, Mr. Navarro met with UCSF financial counselors who asked about his immigration status. Mr. Navarro responded that, in fact, he was undocumented. Due to the complexities of the current health insurance industry, this was a concern for UCSF because it increases the risk that Mr. Navarro will not be able to continue to be insured and therefore not receive the follow-up care and medication needed to stay healthy after a transplant.
Per UCSF practice, Mr. Navarro's status on the waiting list was changed to "inactive" as a result, which means that he would maintain his place on the waiting list, but would not receive a transplant even if he reached the top unless he had a reasonable coverage plan in place. The counselors also referred Mr. Navarro to two community assistance organizations that specialize in resolving immigration issues, as part of our effort to increase the likelihood of transplanted patients maintaining their health coverage for the surgery and critical post-transplant care.
Mr. Navarro has told UCSF that, to him, this meant he would not get a transplant until he resolved his immigration status; this was not what UCSF was trying to convey. Instead, UCSF was following its policy to make sure Mr. Navarro would continue to have the health insurance necessary to receive proper post-transplant follow up. Follow-up care is critical to transplant patients, who otherwise may lose the organ and become less healthy than they were on dialysis.
UCSF regrets the misunderstanding and is committed to reviewing its processes to make sure that communication is consistent and clear with all patients, including Mr. Navarro. UCSF does not and will not discriminate on the basis of immigration status.
The road to a kidney transplant is long, and it may still take Mr. Navarro months to continue through the process. In the meantime, he continues to maintain his health through dialysis, as he has for the past 6 1/2 years.
This situation underscores the many obstacles all transplant candidates face securing the long-term coverage they need because of the patchwork nature of the health care system. These obstacles can be more difficult for undocumented individuals to overcome.
UCSF Medical Center operates one of the world's largest kidney transplant programs, with more than 5,240 patients on the list waiting to receive a kidney. Sadly, only 350 of those patients will receive a kidney transplant this year, mainly because of a shortage of organs, either from deceased patients or living-related donors.
We encourage everyone to become an organ donor. For more information, contact Donate Life California, or, for information on becoming a living donor, visit ucsfhealth.org.

*let me just say that the link to Value Village does the one by us justice like you would not believe. The one here is gross. I felt like I should have been wearing a mask to shop, and no one speaks English.*
Anywhoozzle. I DID find 2 trivets that I really liked for about $2.50 a pop. Both were silver and kinda dirty and greasy. I soaked them in bleach and gave them a nice good scrub with a Brillo pad. I did not take any before pictures, but here are the afters.
Candy Apple Red and Midnight Black. <3
I think they look pretty good! All I did was spray paint them (about 3 coats each) of high gloss spray paint and let them dry for 2 days. I was worried about the hot pots and pans melting the spray paint though.. I considered going back to Home Depot and looking for a can of clear high heat spray paint to seal them with... but I put it off too long then just didn't care anymore. If it peels, I'll sand them and re-spray.
Sorry for the ugly pictures. The lighting in this house is in the most inconvenient places, and the flash always gives too much glare.
But alas, we are moving SOON! So I can put my own lighting in and be happy with it.
So here they are! A butterfly and a clock-thing. I think they're pretty cute. I needed some trivets so this was a nice cheap fix.

But Lionel Shriver's superb novel is more concerned with how blame and recrimination diffuses. Kevin can't just be evil, he must surely be a product of poor parenting, of being ignored, of various Freudian explain-alls that place the blame squarely on everyone but him. And then again, maybe he really is just the non-supernatural incarnation of Damien.
The structure of the book, a series of letters written from Eva Khatchadourian to her estranged husband, lays everything out the way she saw it, events narrated as unreliably as possible. There are beautiful passages where you wonder whether Eva has known from the start and rejects Kevin correctly, or whether she had an irrational hatred which in fact turned him evil.
We could never know for sure about Kevin, as the reader, until he commits his dastardly final act. And to say anything about that would be to spoil one of the most shocking surprises committed to page.
I am envious of all who are about to begin this dark, dark journey.

Best out of waste
A project using invitation card
I had an invitation card and found the plain white back of it too useful than just discarding it!
I just picked my sketch pens, red and brown which were available on hand and started to draw!The above picture is the outcome of the back of invitation using only two colours done in less than 20 minutes holding my little princess on my lap.
I feel there is always some time for an art lover and nothing stops from doing it!
Here is an updated picture of another card!!

Workers Beware! Under Trump, Reaganomics Is Back and Worse Than Ever @alternet:
"Reaganomics was an abject failure as an economic program. Inflation came down but that was the only achievement. Growth returned but average wages, however measured, stopped growing altogether, whereas they had been growing steadily since the early 1950s. Income inequality started to rise rapidly from early in Reagan's first term and didn't stop. The greatest of ironies is that capital investment was tepid and the source of economic growth, productivity, grew only moderately, the opposite of the takeoff that was promised. George W. Bush reinstated the Reaganomics philosophy with his own major tax cuts, again mostly funneled to the wealthy. The recovery and expansion that followed created the fewest jobs of any expansion since World War II. What economic growth there was had been fueled by the speculation in residential housing that led to the crash of 2008, the year Bush left office. Trump's proposed tax cuts are far more radical than those of Bush, and more on a par with Reagan's. They would be another unjustifiable gift to the wealthy."

From Claudius Ælianus His Various History, translated by Thomas Stanley; London: 1663.
Chap. XXVIII.
Diet of Fish much esteemed by the Rhodians.
I will tell you a Rhodian opnion. In Rhodes, they say that if a man looks upon a Fish with a great liking, and loves Fish1 above all other meat, they esteem him an extraordinary person: But such as like the diet of Flesh better are reproched by the Rhodians as clownish and gluttonous, whether justly or wrongfully, I do not examine.

I think my table is constructed taking into account the chemical and physical properties of atoms, is the ultimate goal. It differs in that, after the lanthanide and actinide placed four new chemical elements, and since the sequence number is changed hafnium element, the protons and electrons is longer and fewer neutrons at the same atomic weight. Since the discovery of elements in the number of protons and electrons is not specified, I think this table is not refuted.ReplyDelete

How do I see a way out ...
Necessary to measure the charges of the nuclei of atoms following Yb, Lu, Hf, Ta, and if
between lutetium and hafnium is a big gap in the charge, and between
Yb and Lu as well as between Ta and Hf are small, it will speak about the provider table.
Of course, the easiest thing would be to look in the archives Chadwick results of measurement of the nuclear charge at the platinum, their departures and decide on the need to work with hafnium, tantalum and lutetium.ReplyDelete

As always March is proving a busy month for conferences. Recently I've spoken at two: one in North Yorkshire with a focus on personal development and well being, and the British Association for Teachers of the Deaf (BATOD) conference which focused on the need for positive and proactive support through all different transitions including puberty, adolescence, bereavement, divorce and separation.
A couple of themes came through at both - first, to be effective in all of this work we must remember what it feels like to be young - the excitement, the anticipation, curiousity and the fear.
Secondly - the lack of confidence some people have in pushing the boundaries and providing exciting opportunities for young people. In a risk adverse society, the perceived threat of litigation when things go wrong prevents them from 'taking risks' and trying new activities and new approaches. One delegate described a trust building activities where young people are responsible for catching one of their peers as potentially risky. What if they don't catch the person, they fall and hurt themselves? School trips similarly off the timetable - too risky.
Engage with a group of people who feel this fear for an hour and you start to see the logic. But these activities are important because they help us learn about ourselves, the world around us and our interactions with others. They help us learn that trying new things is exciting, challenging, inspiring and affirming. And they help us to learn how to manage risk so that we can take responsibility for ourselves in potentially risky situations.
Understanding risk is a vital part of every young person's development and learning to manage it will help them take informed decisions in many areas of their lives, including their sexual health, as they grow older.
If children and young people are constantly sheltered from the possibility of things going wrong are we really preparing them for their lives now and in the future?

Grow herbs and use them in your kitchen, crafts, and herbal remedies. Herbs are a great introduction to gardening, and they're also a wonderful way to get your children interested in nature. The content of this site is anecdotal and provided for entertainment purposes only. It is not intended as medical advice. If you are ill, please see your doctor.
Harvesting Coriander - Coriander Tea
If your cilantro is calling it quits for the season, don't forget to harvest the coriander seeds for winter use. Shake the seed heads into a paper bag, allow them to dry completely in a cool, dark place, and store them in an airtight container.
Medicinal Uses for Coriander
Coriander seed is a powerful, natural anti-bacterial agent. It can be used to flavor both sweet and savory dishes, and has been included frequently as an ingredient in curing meat.
It makes an herbal tea that's effective in treating minor stomach upsets. It has also been used successfully to treat colic (Check with your doctor before trying).
Preserving and Getting the Most Flavor From Coriander
For added flavor, roast coriander seeds in a single layer on a cookie sheet in a 400 degree F oven until they turn brown (twenty to thirty minutes).
Store coriander seeds in the freezer. Like nuts and sesame seeds, they contain oils that will cause them to spoil eventually. Keeping them in the freezer will extend their useful life.
Coriander Tea
1 teaspoon crushed coriander seeds
1 C boiling water
Allow the tea to steep for ten minutes before drinking.
Labels: coriander, coriander seed, coriander tea, storing coriander

(This below is the summary of an unusual interview, hence done by me and published notably on BlogActiv, not a normal editorial video by a EurActiv journalist. Dan Luca worked 10 years for EurActiv, lately at European Network Director, in charge of EurActiv's presence in 12 capitals, 12 languages. He already stood as MEP candidate (PES, Rumania) in 2009, and this time he has a chance of being elected. ChL )
Until this campaign Dan Luca interacted mainly with expats Rumanians, but this time also in Rumania, on national TV.
Based on 20 years of EU experiences, as part of the 'Erasmus generation, he stands for making Rumania more influential.
Here are the main points of this video interview:
1:47 – 2:20 different campaign this time: more in Rumania, more on TV.
2:31 – 3:20 Rumania and its companies could be more influential at the EU level
4:21 – 5:04 Addresses corruption, and jailing politicians
6:34 – 7:32 A younger political class is already in place, but the Erasmus generation – Europe educated – is still missing
10:52 – 11:20 On new faces, given candidates for the Commission's presidency
12:47 – 13:29 What would a socialist versus center-right president do?
13:46 – 14:07 His advice to Martin Schultz, socialist leader:
'don't be shy'
' a German image is not bad, a good brand'
16:09 – 16:29 Who would win pre-election presidential debates?
