NASHVILLE, Tenn. — I mean no disrespect to what the Chiefs did three weeks ago, when they went to Philadelphia, on a short week against the Eagles with everything that went along with Andy Reid's return to his old town but I think the Chiefs just put together their most impressive win of the season.
Without Jake Locker, the Titans may or may not be the best team the Chiefs have beaten this season. But this was certainly the best defense the Chiefs have faced, it was on the road, and the Chiefs had to come back from their first fourth quarter deficit of the season.
In the end, they did it with defense, again, with resiliency, with teamwork
, and I believe I just set a personal record for hyperlinks in one sentence.
Anyway, they're 5-0 now, which means we all want to know what that means. The short answer is that 90 percent of teams that've started 5-0 in the past 23 years have made the playoffs, according to this story onCBSSports.com.
More specifically, in the last 10 years, 23 teams have started 5-0. Twenty made the playoffs. Here's the entire group:
2012 Texans:
lost their sixth game. Finished 12-4 and won the AFC South, but faded down the stretch. Lost three of their last four, beat the Bengals in the wild card round and then lost 41-28 at New England in the divisional round.
2012 Falcons:
started 8-0, finished 13-3 and lost to the Fighting Colin Kaepernicks in the playoffs. Tony Gonzalez cried.
2011 Packers:
started 13-0 and didn't lose until running into those buzzsaw Chiefs and interim coach Romeo Crennel. Lost their first playoff game, at home against the eventual champion Giants.
2011 Lions
: finished 10-6 and made the playoffs, losing the wild card game in New Orleans. The Lions sucked on defense, finishing 23rd in points and yards surrendered. Gave up 27 or more points in eight of their last nine, including the playoff loss.
2009 Colts:
started 14-0, then rested their starters in the last two regular season games. Won their first two playoff games easily, then lost the Super Bowl to New Orleans.
2009 Broncos:
started 6-0, then lost all but two of their last 10 games. Josh McDaniels' only full season as a head coach.
2009 Vikings
: Brett Favre's first year in Minnesota, the Vikings started 6-0. Lost the NFC championship game to the Saints in a game that would be featured prominently in the BountyGate stuff.
2009 Saints
: started 13-0, then lost their last three regular season games, then won the Super Bowl.
2009 Giants
: lost their sixth game. And seventh. And eighth. Ninth, too. Finished 8-8, giving up more than 40 points in three of their last four games. That 5-0 start did include a win at Arrowhead.
2008 Titans
: started 10-0 with starting quarterback Kerry Collins. Yep. Finished 13-3, lost their first playoff game to the Ravens.
2007 Colts
: started 7-0. Won the division, then lost to the Chargers in their first playoff game.
2007 Patriots
: started 18-0, but finished 0-1 in games where a man made his only NFL catch with his helmet.
2007 Cowboys
: lost their sixth game. Finished 13-3 and won the NFC East, but lost the divisional playoff game at home to the Giants.
2006 Bears:
started 7-0. Finished the regular season 13-3 and lost the Super Bowl to the Colts. Finished second in scoring, third in defense.
2006 Colts:
started 9-0. Won the Super Bowl, including a classic playoff game over the Patriots.
2005 Colts
: lot of Colts on this list, and a lot of them sound like this: started 13-0, then lost in the first round of the playoffs.
2004 Eagles
: Andy Reid's best team started 7-0, finished the regular season 13-3, and lost the Super Bowl by three points to the Patriots.
2004 Patriots
: started 6-0, finished 14-2, and won another Super Bowl. Coordinators Charlie Weis and Romeo Crennel left after the season, and, well, they've each made a lot of money.
2004 Jets
: lost their sixth game and finished 10-6. Won a playoff game (against the Chargers) with Chad Pennington, then took the eventual Super Bowl champion Steelers into overtime on the road. Even had to start Quincy Carter three games.
2003 Panthers:
lost their sixth game. Finished 11-5 and went all the way to the Super Bowl, losing to Adam Vinatieri and the Patriots. Panthers won four overtime games this years, including one on the road against the Rams in the playoffs.
2003 Colts:
lost their sixth game. Finished 12-4 and won two playoff games including one you might remember where they never punted in Kansas City. Lost to the Patriots in the conference championship.
2003 Chiefs
: You'd probably rather just move on.
2003 Vikings: won their first six games, then lost seven of their last 10.

Carlisle City Attorney Mike Stuart informed the Carlisle City Council of a possible upcoming lawsuit against the Carlisle District Court during Tuesday night's council meeting.
According to Stuart, a class action suit was filed on Jan. 17 in Mississippi County against 75 district courts in Arkansas, including the Carlisle District Court. The suit filed pertains to a discount not being giving by district courts on fees accumulated during moving violations and other offenses made while in control of a motor vehicle. Stuart said state law requires a $10 discount be given when motorist are wearing a seat belt. The complaint filed states that over the past five years since the law went into effect, the $10 deduction was not reflected in any fees assessed, Stuart said.
In the event the suit does take place against the city, the Arkansas Municipal League or lawyers hired by the municipal league will defend the city. The city pays an annual fee for these services.
Stuart said he has been in contact with Mark Haze, head of legal defense for the Arkansas Municipal League. He said the Municipal League ask that the council authorize the mayor and city attorney to take part in the league's defense.
As of Tuesday, Stuart said current district court clerk Beth Plafcan has yet to be served a court summons.
"Its probably not wise for us to be a part of the municipal defense until Beth is served," Stuart said. "I suggest we wait until if, or after we are served to authorize the mayor and city attorney to move forward. We can discuss what to do at that point in an upcoming meeting or special meeting."
According to Stuart, the city has 30 days after being served before any action is needed by the council. He also said the Carlisle District Court is part of a pilot program, which automatically deducts the $10 fee when tickets are entered into the program. He said when an officer writes a ticket, they check a box to indicate if the motorist was indeed wearing a seat belt at the time of the stop.
"It appears we've done everything right," Stuart said.
At this time, no action was taken by the council.
Carlisle School Future Business Leader of America (FBLA) teacher Angela McCallie gave the council an update on the electronic waste recycling drive, which was held on Saturday. The FBLA partnered with the city and Central Arkansas Solid Waste District to sponsor the drive, McCallie said. She said 30 students went door to door to 75 homes in Carlisle from 9 a.m. until noon to collect electronic waste for disposal. According to McCallie, students collected computers, copiers, printers, fax machines, cell phones, chargers, paper shredders, electrical cables, gaming systems, radios, stereos, DVD and VCR players. She said all the waste collected filled a 18 foot trailer.
"It was filled top to bottom, front to back," McCallie said. "It was packed."
Mayor Ray Glover said he also had a trailer available for the dispose of televisions.
"We hope to make this an annual event and appreciate the Arkansas Solid Waste District and the city for their support. I think it was a great success."
McCallie said the FBLA began its recycling campaign with collecting paper at the high school. She said it has been calculated that one ton of paper has been recycled from the high school since the fall.
"We appreciate you, Angela and the kids," Glover said.
Baseball and softball registration is under way, according to Parks Director Ronnie Ashmore. According to Ashmore, there are currently more than 100 kids signed up to play this year. Ashmore said the deadline for anyone wanting to play is this Friday. Glover asked if there were any children interested in playing, who many not be able to afford the sign up fees. Ashmore said there are not any that he is aware of at this time.
"We don't want anyone to not show up because they can't afford it," Parks and Recreation Chairman Chad Bennett said.
Glover said if there are any children wanting to play baseball or softball but can not afford the sign up fees, to contact Ashmore.
Ashmore also told the council, due to weather, the fields have yet to be worked. He said he is waiting for them to dry up before he gets started.
With the permission of the council, Bill Alexander with Advanced Mosquito Control of Boyle, Miss., which provides aerial mosquito application for the city, came before the council to talk about future services. He spoke about the requirements and regulations for flying the product. According to Stuart, because the contract with Advanced Mosquito Control ran out Dec. 31, the city can not extend the contract and must rebid for the services. Alexander said they plan to rebid the contract.
With more than $400,000 in the street fund for paving, the city prepared to proceed with phase two of paving city streets. Glover said the city plans to pave 50 city blocks in this phase, using 3,000 tons of asphalt. The council unanimously approved to begin taking bids on the street paving. According to Glover, the bids will be good for six months.
City Water and Sewer Engineer Jason Stone with Civil Engineering Associates LLC of Jonesboro provided a list to the council of water and waste water improvements that need to be addressed. Water Superintendent Jeff Ward discussed the priority of each item. According to Ward, the top priority is the replacement of the existing filter media and painting of the pressure valves for $69,500. Ward said the filters have not been replaced since 1993.
The second priority, according to Ward, is the replacement of 18,565 tons of filter media in the existing rock reed filters for the waste-water system, estimated to cost $395,000. Ward said the cost can be cut in half if the council preferred to do half of it. There was an additional cost of $17,500 to rip rap 500 linear feet of existing levee on stabilization lagoon with material from the existing rock reed filters, as a second part of replacing the rock reed filters. Ward said the additional cost is to rent a equipment such as a trackhoe and dump truck and labor to have the current rock put on the pond levels.
The last three items on Stone's list were to furnish and install 21 electrical actuators, valves and controls for the water plant filters for $195,000; replacement of four chemical pumps for $27,000; and replace electrical starters and phase monitors on wells for $24,000. Ward said these items were more modernizing than necessity. He also asked the council if there was a reason the city was requiring that fluoride be added to the city water supply. He said fluoride is not necessary nor required by the health department. Ward said the city would be saving money if they discontinued the use as a fluoride pump costs $9,000 plus the cost of the chemicals.
Glover said he believed Carlisle residents are proud to have fluoride in the water system.
Glover also told the council of two bids received for installation of 1,000 new solar smart meters. He said he received a bid from HD Supply of Little Rock for $411,000 and a bid from Henard Utility Products of Searcy for $290,000. Glover said Stone informed him that an additional $20,000-$30,000 should be added to the price because of the difference in cost for multiple-size meters.
With the new meters installed, the city would be able to receive meter reading via satellite, rather than the physical labor of reading them. Glover said this would also allow residences with water leaks to be notified prior to receiving a high bill. He said the meters set off an alarm at the office if a resident has water running for more than 24 hours.
Because the city does not currently have the means to fund the projects, Glover said he would like the council to authorize him to speak with bond companies about reissuing the current water bond. According to Glover, the current bond is to mature in 2024. He said because interest rates are lower, the city council extend the bond 12 years and received $700,000 with a lower monthly payment. Glover said if the city does reissue the bond, the new mature date would be 2036.
W.H. Kittler asked if water rates would be effected if the city chose to reissue the bond. Glover said there would be no increase in rates because of the bond.
The council voted unanimously to authorize Glover to pursue information from bond companies concerning reissuing the bond.
Glover gave a small update on the construction of the new police and court building. He said work has begun, but while digging they found muck. He said there have been four foot of dirt removed at the site. Crushed shale will replace the dirt before a foundation is poured.
At 6 p.m. April 1 in the Civic Center, the Carlisle Economic Development Corporation (CEDC) will host a business retention banquet, according to Glover. Glover said every business that has paid occupational taxes in the city, will receive two invitations to the dinner. Those in attendance will hear what the CEDC has done in the past five years, what the plans are for the future and be introduce to some of their economic partners. Keynote speaker for the dinner will be Christopher Crane with the Arkansas Film Commission.
"We want to show them how much we appreciate them for being in Carlisle," Glover said.
In other business, the council voted unanimously to remove Beth Plafcan from the district court checking account and add Jennifer Wolfe to the account.
Glover also gave his State of the City Address during the meeting. The next council meeting will be at 6 p.m. March 19 in the council room at the Civic Center.

Watching Paint Dry?!? by EMedina13Watch

I just loved this face one of the clones made when Twilight told them to watch paint dry. And since nobody made it yet; I took that opportunity.

It looks like she has to pee. xD
Oh man, I REALLY shouldn't have drank that entire 64-ounce smoothie before I got in the car!
what is vector
A vector is kind of digital image, primarily made in drawing programs like Inkscape of Illustrator[I use Inkscape] Vectors are made by making, layering, coloring, and adjusting lines and shapes in order to create an image. But when you make a vector, it has the benefit of being infinitely scalable to any size you want without losing any quality of the image you made. [Unlike a picture made of pixels that become super blocky when enlarged]
Come on Pinkie, your very existance to break 4th Walls to our amusement and be a threat to the world of reality and all things sane in the universe is on the line. XD
it was a fanfic before it was canon
Ah, comical facial expressions. Don't you just love them?
Patching paint dry, or reading bad fanfics... hmmm
I love your icon
And this is how I look when I have to pee

SummaryAdd a Summary
Just how good can a bad boy be?
Olivia Bishop is no fun. That's what her ex-husband said. And that's what her smart bob and glasses imply. So with her trademark determination, Olivia sets out to remake her life. She's going to spend time with her girlfriends and not throw it all away for some man. But when an outing with her book club leads her to a brewery taproom, the dark-haired beauty realizes that trouble--in the form of sexy Jamie Donovan--may be too tempting to avoid.
Jamie Donovan doesn't mean to be bad. Sure, the wild streak in his wicked green eyes has lured the ladies before. Now it's time to grow up. He's even ready for a serious romance. But how can that be when Olivia, the only right woman he has ever met, already has him pegged as wrong?

This handbook applies proven techniques, derived from bilingual/bicultural classrooms, to teaching literacy in the twenty-first century.

They can select from the variety of approaches the ones which best match their studentsa needs and their own teaching style. Student-centered focus. All of the approaches share characteristics that help motivate students of varying language abilities to develop literacy. Field-tested approaches.

I have to say, it's a very satisfying feeling when I can say, "There's a ballooooooon in the backyard!" to which my husband gives me an "are you nuts?" look and then realizes that there IS in fact a balllllooooooon in the backyard and gives me the sheepish "okay, so you're not nuts" look, thereby confirming my sanity. Sanity officially confirmed.
It's a gorgeous, totally crisp and clear morning. All the ucky rain and clouds are gone (for the moment) and of course that means that the hot air balloons are out in action. We just don't normally have them land in our backyards. And I should clarify that they actually touched down in our next-door neighbors yard. I wonder how that works. Do they have to get permission? You'd think so, wouldn't you? And eew, all that mud out there in that pasture and all those people trudging through it to get into the getaway vehicle. And that's really what it is. This truck comes blazing into the field to gather up the balloon, and a van comes to get all the people, then back to Napa they go. ZOOM.
Side track.
Here's a layout I did a while back that I never posted. It's got my very favorites in it - Cosmo's new Upcycle line and Best Creation's Glitter Basics Dot paper. So yummy.
Also, I am so excited by the most recent addition to our "backyard" - the quotes are because I use this term veeery liberally...
When we moved in, I was so sure we'd have nothing pretty for ages, and then every now and then we have something beautiful like this pop up. AND THEN the rains came, so I cut off all the delicate little blossoms and put them inside to ride out the storm. And OH the house smells gooooood!!!
Okay, so it's 10:45 on Sunday and I only have three more items on my to-do list: Putty and sand the holes in the baseboards that Eric put in last night; Hang the framed wedding pictures in the hall that have been sitting there for two months; and make the adorable ruffled pillows that I saw on the House of Smiths blog the other day. Sounds doable, right? We shall see....
Happy Sunday!

Three more misadventures of The World's Grumpiest Cat!
When two dog-loving boys visit the household, they can't wait to play fetch and take Grumpy Cat for a walk.

Hambling, who was brought up in Hadleigh, Suffolk, first studied at the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing 1962-4 and then at the Ipswich School of Art before moving to London where she would soon achieve worldwide acclaim.
Not forgetting the roots of her work and the scenery that first inspired her, Hambling's work often returns to the county. In 2004 her Thorpeness Sluice and North Sea Waves exhibition was held at the Peter Pears Gallery in Aldeburgh.In 1980 Hambling became the first artist in residence at the National Gallery in London and has continued to inspire the city with her spectacular scenes of the land and seacape of Suffolk. Most recently in 2006 when her Portraits of People and the Sea exhibition was housed at Marlborough Fine Art, London.
The Scallop, Hambling's iconic image of the Suffolk Coast arrived on Aldeburgh beach in 2003. The sculpture was set up to commemorate Benjamin Britten and displays a quote from Britten's Peter Grimes 'I hear those voices that will not be drowned'.
In 2005 Hambling was awarded the Public Monuments and Sculpture Association Marsh award for Excellence in Public Sculpture for the Scallop, thus recognising the profound importance of the piece.
A walk along Aldeburgh beach to this sculpture allows visitors to the coast a profound insight into the inspiration behind this most unique and unusual artist.

Bob Dylan Looking Like a Copyright Infringer. Now What?
Posted by David Walker on Friday September 30, 2011 | Celebrity, Copyright/Legal, Fine Art
Is Bob Dylan–that champion of the poor, the tired, the oppressed–a brazen rip-off artist and infringer of photographers' copyrights? And if so, who's going to stop him? Reports (here and here) about the exhibit of Dylan's new paintings called "The Asia Series" at the Gagosian Gallery in New York certainly suggest a theft problem here.... More ›

The Keen Men's Uneek Sandal is a casual sandal for spending the whole summer not wearing socks. Cords are the name of the game here, adapting to your foot like a fish to warm water. Wear them as loose or as tight as you prefer, cinching the top bungee cord to your liking. The midsole adds the cushion needed underfoot for all-day wear and the rubber outsole is non-marking and just grippy enough for city streets, the sandy beach, and boat docks galore.
So sorry, but only 4 items are allowed for comparison, so we're comparing the first 4. I blame the gnomes and so should you.

Jack Wilkins is an excellent guitarist deserving of wider recognition. This 1992 CTI release might get overlooked by hard bop fans because of producer Creed Taylor's tendency to either over-produce a session or turn it into commercial pabulum, but this out of print CD is worth acquiring. "Dailey Double," written by pianist Albert Dailey, is an up-tempo blues with a Latin kick. The guitarist's lyricism comes to the forefront during a brisk reading of "You Must Believe in Spring" and a rather brief "My Foolish Heart," featuring the leader on solo acoustic guitar. Phil Woods makes a guest appearance on Wilkins' swirling bop composition "Captain Blued" and also bassist Harvie Swartz's "Opal," stealing the spotlight on both tracks. Chick Corea's Captain Marvel" is a miniature that features Wilkins with guest guitarist Carl Barry. A very enjoyable outing.

(Reuters) - Italian MotoGP great Valentino Rossi is set to see out his career with Yamaha after signing a new two year agreement with the works team taking him through to the end of 2016, they announced on Wednesday.
Yamaha hoped the 35-year-old, a nine times world champion with seven titles in grand prix motorcycling's top category, would stay with them for the rest of his racing career.
"We look forward to the next two and a half years together and it is our intention that Valentino will remain with Yamaha until the end of his sporting career and beyond," Yamaha Motor Racing managing director Lin Jarvis said.
"Since his return to Yamaha in 2013 it's been a very positive experience for everybody involved," he added.
"His enjoyment is obvious to all who meet him at the MotoGP events or who see him race on TV and is reflected in his excellent race results this year."
Rossi is enjoying a strong season and is currently second equal in the championship after four second place finishes and five podiums in eight races.
Honda's Spanish MotoGP champion Marc Marquez has been dominant, winning all eight.
"I am very proud of this announcement," said Rossi, who returned to Yamaha in 2013 after a barren two year stint with Ducati.
"It's great because this was my target; I wanted to continue, I am feeling good and I'm motivated to keep giving my best. I am very happy that I can keep riding my YZR-M1."

1. If you were the albino attacker, would you have shot Jacques as quickly? Why or why not?
If I were the albino attacker, I would not have shot Jacques immediately. The attacker mentions that he has already spoken to and, presumably killed others, trying to find out the same information. Since Jacques might have been the last living source of that information, I would not have been so quick to kill him, if I were the albino attacker.
2. Why is the opening of the book so suspenseful?
The opening of the book is suspenseful for a number of reasons. Since we don't know who Jacques is or who the albino attacker is, we cannot tell which of them is really the bad person, if either one is at all. Also, we have no way of knowing why the attacker is killing Jacques.

For a few years now the Malaysian Tourist Board along with Malaysian Airways has been creating campaigns in order to attract the foreign tourist to Malaysia, periodic
'Visit Malaysia' years as well as the Shopping Carnival held every year in March and April are some of the strategies used to attract tourists and bolster tourism. Kuala Lumpur or KL as it is popularly known is usually the point of entry for a tourist to the peninsula of Malaysia.
Malaysia's capital city is a blend of the new and the old and a mascot for the Malaysian Tourist board's catch phrase welcoming tourists to Malaysia 'Malaysia truly Asia'.
For a few years now the Malaysian Tourist Board along with Malaysian Airways has been creating campaigns in order to attract the foreign tourist to Malaysia, periodic
'Visit Malaysia' years as well as the Shopping Carnival held every year in March and April are some of the strategies used to attract tourists and bolster tourism. Kuala Lumpur or KL as it is popularly known is usually the point of entry for a tourist to the peninsula of Malaysia.
Malaysia was a British colonial outpost which became the federation of Malaya in 1948 and declared independence in 1957. In 1963 Malaysia was formed along with another British colony Singapore and the eastern Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak. Singapore seceded from the federation in 1965.
Malaysia follows a parliamentary system of democracy and it is headed by a Prime Minister, like the famous Lee Kuan Yew of neighboring Singapore it was headed successfully by an enlightened leader Mahatir Muhammad for many years and it was he who contributed much to the advancement of Malaysia.
The main industries in Malaysia, a country which is rich in natural resources are manufacturing, tin, rubber, timber, pepper, palm oil and now with the efforts of the Malaysian tourism board tourism too is developing into a major industry. Malaysia with a racing track at Sepang is on the Formula One circuit and this is yet another big draw for tourists. However, KL with its many attractions and multicultural population composed of Chinese, Malays and Indians is the crown jewel for the board of tourism in its endeavors.
Getting to Kuala Lumpur
By Air
Fly into Kuala Lumpur's ultra modern KLIA (Kuala Lumpur International Airport) glass and steel terminal at Sepang. It was commissioned in 1998 and ranks amongst the top airports of the world. It replaced the older Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah terminal at Subhang which is now a charter air terminal. More than 50 airlines call at KLIA. In March 2006 a second terminal was opened called the Low Cost Carrier terminal and serves the low cost carriers such as Air Asia and Cebu Pacific.
The KLIA Ekspres
The fastest way into the city is by the KLIA Ekspres train which has its terminal within the airport and is extremely convenient as it has adequate facilities for passengers with luggage to use it effectively.
Trains arrive every 15 -20 minutes throughout the day and speed you into KL Sentral the transport hub in KL city. KL transit is another train one can take to KL Sentral but it takes longer than the Ekspres as it stops at three stops before it gets to KL Sentral.
At KL Sentral one can check in luggage on your return journey out of KL if you fly Malaysian, Cathay Pacific or Air Borneo airlines. Tickets on both the KLIA Ekspres and KL Transit cost RM 35.
By Taxi
At the airport there are counters to hire a prepaid Taxi or Airport Limo into the city. The fare to the city center by prepaid taxi is between 60 RM. to90 RM
By Road
KLIA is accessible from the city center by road on the expressway known as 'Elite'. The journey by road from the city center takes an hour as the airport is 70km away.
By Bus
KL is served by many Bus stations the oldest being Puduraya near Chinatown and also the old railway station which also serves as a Bus station. Tourists from neighboring Singapore take a variety of buses at various pick up points in Singapore and traverse the six hour journey on the Causeway and Tuas highways to get to KL . Buses also come into KL from the East and West coasts of Malaysia.
By Rail
Trains come into KL Sentral from Singapore and Bangkok. Many Malaysians who work in Singapore use the overnight train to come home to KL.
By Sea
Not really an option but there are ferries that come from Indonesia to Port Klang nearby
Getting around KL
Just as any other teeming and developing Asian city KL has horrendous traffic snarls. The city is still heavily car dependant with the government encouraging the use of the Malaysian built car the Proton. The development of the Light Rail Transport system known as the LRT has alleviated this problem somewhat. It is composed of 3 lines run by three private companies and the lines are called KTM Komuter which connects the northern and southern suburbs and the Star LRT and the Putra LRT.
Banks, Shopping Malls and other sections of the city are accessible by the LRT. The city is also served by the Rapid City shuttle buses, distinctive with their red disks they serve 15 routes. Red and white taxis are by far the easiest way for a tourist to get around the city and they have a starting rate of RM2. There are also the yellow cabs which are slightly more expensive. A tourist must ask the driver to use the meter on the taxi ride to avoid being ripped off. A Red and White taxi can also take you to KLIA but be sure to fix the rate with the driver. In KL haggling with the driver for the fare is quite the norm.
KL's Golden Triangle. A shoppers delight.
One of KL's biggest tourist attractions is its luxurious five star hotels and malls and mega malls bursting with stores. Almost all the luxury Hotel chains in the world including the JW Marriott, the Ritz Carlton, the Regent, the Westin, and The Shangri-la have a presence in KL. Most of these luxury hotels are concentrated around KL's golden triangle which is made up of Bukit Bingtang, Jalan Bukit Bingtang, Jalan Imbi and Jalan Sultan Ismail. Cafes and restaurants line a street known as Bingtang walk near the Ritz Carlton hotel.
Lot 10, Starhill plaza, Sungei Wan, BB plaza and KL plaza are malls always pulsating with shoppers. Some of these like Starhill are filled with high end retail stores. Sungei Wan with its many more modestly priced shops and food court is popular with the locals and tourists alike.
At the base of the world famous Petronas towers is another mall of high end luxury goods called the Suria KLCC. This complex also has a food court and number of specialty restaurants on its upper floor above the shops. Adjacent to KLCC is the super luxurious Mandarin Oriental Hotel..
Apart from the golden triangle KL boasts of many more malls in other areas the Berjaya Times Square Mall with its theme park, IMAX theater, restaurants, bowling complex and over a thousand shops is yet another shoppers paradise.

The culmination of this journey is at the temple at the Batu Caves located 13 km from the city .They were discovered by Lord William Hornaday in 1878. The caves are bat infested but in the months of January and February Hindu devotees throng the Hindu temple located in the caves. The caves are accessed by climbing 273 steps.

The district of Bangsar used to be nightlife central of KL with pubs such as Finnegans,La Bodega and One Bangsar . It is an Expat ( foreign worker on postings in KL are termed Expats and consist of a large community).dominated area but it is losing out to an area called Desa Sri Heratamas which is now popular with the younger folk.

Spring sunset...
Ah yes the sun is moving across the sky once again. Above was the sunset in the last few days, and here it was on the shortest day - well and truly sunk behind the Hoy hills! Whoo Hoo Spring is here!
Sunrise in Orkney now is 05.58 (London 0605), and sunset time is 20.26 (London 1955). Bring on the daylight I say!

That's a beautiful way to start your day! I hope you enjoy every minute. Spring, indeed! The snow is gone from our yard, the sun is out. Joy!ReplyDeleteReplies
Whoo Hoo hope you still have sunshine!Delete
spring here is so short. soon it will be our dry hot summer with nothing interesting to write about:)ReplyDeleteReplies
I often wonder what it must be like to live somewhere that the weather changes so little. In the UK we often moan about the weather and it is always a topic of conversation - because it changes so much!Delete
The sun rising over the horizon after a long winter is a promise of sunshine:) Still there is a sense of mystery in your photos ... the darkness over the land and the skies showing the arrival of morning.ReplyDeleteReplies
I love the edges of days, the dusk and dawn. Very atmospheric...Delete
I've noticed how fast the days are lengthening up here in the 3 weeks since we got here. More sun would be good, but at least we have light. :-)ReplyDeleteReplies
I love the longer days!! Makes me very happy :-)Delete
Beautiful sunset Sian!ReplyDelete
After 6 l-o-n-g months of a very nasty Winter we finally have Spring! Our last snow storm was just a week ago (Apr.14th). It has finally melted & things are improving. WE have alot of clouds so not alot of sunsets yet.
Happy Spring to you there,

National Geographic Channel's bold new schedule brings viewers into the heart of the exciting investigations that have positioned it as the #1 digital specialty channel in Canada (A25-54 and V2+)*.
The new line-up is packed with addictive programming exclusive to National Geographic Channel subscribers, including an inside look at the world of Canadian border services officers, an in-depth examination of the complex issue of bluefin tuna fishing, and intimate portrayals of fascinating North American subcultures.
With eight brand new series, including the broadcast premiere of the Canadian original Border Security, National Geographic Channel is prepared to deliver its most diverse roster of programming and an even more thrilling television experience for its loyal viewers.
Meet the Johns family, one of Manhattan's most prominent Romani, or Gypsy, families. In the new nine-part series American Gypsies, produced by Ralph Macchio (Karate Kid, My Cousin Vinnie, The Outsiders), cameras document the Johns' struggle to uphold their standing in the community and expand their psychic shop empire amid constant family strife and drama.
In each episode, witness a family trying to modernize and adapt to North American ways, while still clinging to their heritage. Get a firsthand look inside elder assemblies, arranged marriages between teenagers, the unique court system where disputes are settled and auspicious tarot card readings. American Gypsies airs Mondays at 9pm ET/10pm PT, beginning September 3.
On Tuesdays at 10pm ET/11pm PT beginning September 4, National Geographic Channel sets sail with a fleet of salty, spirited fishermen in the new 10-part series Wicked Tuna. In America's oldest seaport, Gloucester, Massachusetts, there is a special breed of fishermen. For generations, they have used rod and reel to catch the magnificent bluefin tuna. They depend on these fish for their livelihood, in one of the most highly regulated fisheries in the world. But experts think bluefin tuna populations are at critical levels. So as the world debates how to save this species, these fishermen depend on them to make their living.
The debate over the fate of the bluefin has many sides, with different opinions by different experts and organizations. To showcase the complexities of this discussion, National Geographic Channel has launched a multitiered effort to help audiences become more knowledgeable about the bluefin tuna story, including PSAs and a dedicated website at http://natgeotv.com/ca/wicked-tuna.
Every day, twenty thousand passengers request entry into Canada by way of Vancouver International Airport, and many more at land crossing in the Lower Mainland of BC. While most travelers experience the usual uneasiness that comes with passing through immigration and customs, others have more legitimate reasons to feel nervous. In Border Security, cameras shadow Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officers as they interrogate suspicious passengers who may or may not have something to hide. Airing Thursdays at 9pm ET/10pm PT, beginning September 6, Border Security is a dynamic documentary series offering viewers a front row seat to the high stakes, bizarre reveals and sometimes comical conflicts that are part of a border security officer's everyday life.
Airing Mondays at 10pm ET/11pm PT, beginning August 13, American Colony: Meet the Hutterites follows a small religious colony in rural Montana that holds desperately to its sacred traditions. King Colony is made up of 59 people who are almost all related. This family lives together, works together and worships God together, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, for their entire lives. Like any family, this one doesn't always agree. Most of the colony is holding tight to the age-old traditions of their ancestors, while others are flirting with modern society.
Chasing UFOs, airing Wednesdays at 10pm ET/11pm PT, beginning September 4, follows a team of three trained investigators – a believer, a skeptic and an undecided – as they attempt to uncover the truth about alien abductions, UFO sightings and military cover-ups. The team investigates and dissects some of the most mysterious sightings on the planet, collecting video footage of unusual-shaped lights, meeting with an alleged alien abduction survivor and even tracking glowing orbs near NASA's Kennedy Space Centre in the U.S.
National Geographic Channel's six-part series, Nazi Underworld, investigates the roots of Nazism and the war that changed history. Airing Tuesdays at 8pm ET/9pm PT, beginning September 4, Nazi Underworld profiles key members of German society, including Heinrich Himmler, the failed soldier obsessed with witchcraft; General Erwin Rommel, the war hero who would be implicated in a plot to kill the Fuhrer; Eva Braun, the starlet who would become Hitler's lover; and Albert Speer, the young architect who would be given complete control of the German war machine before his fortieth birthday.
In America's Lost Treasures, airing Mondays at 8pm ET/9pm PT, beginning September 3, hosts Curt Doussett and Kinga Philipps travel to ten cities in search of objects with unexpected value, inviting locals to bring in their artifacts to find out what they are really worth. In every episode, top museum curators, appraisers and other experts investigate the history of three chosen artifacts and a winner is awarded $10,000 and will be featured in a special exhibit at the National Geographic Museum.
Airing Wednesdays at 9pm ET/10pm PT, beginning September 4, The Link reveals the surprising origins of some of the most important technological breakthroughs of the modern world.
New seasons of Wild Justice (Tuesdays at 9pm ET/10pm PT, beginning September 4) and Locked Up Abroad (Thursdays at 10pm ET/11pm PT, beginning September 6) also join the fall schedule.

DIY: Photo Shake Notebooks
This is the year you get organized. You're gonna need a notebook for to-do's and goal lists.
But not just any ol' notebook … a fun photo notebook with pix on the cover that move when you shake 'em!
Keep organized and show off your happy snaps at the same time by giving any notebook a makeover using photos, confetti and a bit of cellophane.
Say no to boring this year and shake things up with a fun new notebook covered in photos (that move around).
Learn How to Make Your Own Photo Shake Notebooks
Not only do Photo Shake Notebooks combine your love of photography and staying organized. They make awesome DIY gifts for friends, are a cool way to display snaps and can be themed as easy as pie. Well, as easy as picking photos of pie for a recipe journal.
- Wrapping Paper
- Cellophane Wrap
- Colored Card Stock
- Scissors
- Tape
- Double Sided Tape
- Small Photos
- Glitter or Confetti
- A Notebook in need of some love
STEP 1: Cut
Cut a piece of wrapping paper to be just larger than double your notebook.
STEP 2: Fold and Tape
Neatly fold over the vertical side of the paper to wrap around your notebook. And tape it down.
STEP 3: Now the other sides
Cut slits at the top and bottom of the paper right where the spine of the book is then fold over the corners diagonally.
You can now fold over the horizontal sides of the paper to wrap around your notebook. Tape them down.
STEP 4: Wrap
Wrap all sides in this way until all sides are folded and taped, fitting snugly around the notebook.
STEP 5: Cello Time
Repeat the wrapping process with the cellophane but this time leave one of the sides at the front of the notebook open.
Oh, and don't worry too much about how messy it may look on the inside. We'll fix this up in just a tick.
STEP 6: Fill
Insert as many little photos as you want and finish off with some glitter. 'Cuz everything is better sparkly.
STEP 7: Close it up
Fold over and tape down the last side of cellophane to seal in the goodies.
STEP 8: Finish
Finish off the insides of your notebook by using double sided tape to stick a piece of card stock down on the inside panel of the notebook. This will prevent any bits from coming undone and cover up the messy-ness.
STEP 9: Shake Shake Shake
Give your notebook a celebratory shake. You're done!
Taking It Further
- Make little cards by wrapping photos printed on card stock in cellophane and filling them with glitter or confetti
- Cover the lid of a box in the same way to make a photo or memory box
- Use colored cello or textured paper. Anything goes.

She moved to Holland a mere four months after her first visit, and feels fortunate every day to be able to stroll past its picturesque canals and monumental architecture.

As a writer, Kristen's forte is arts and travel journalism, and her focus naturally falls on the vibrant arts scene, culinary world, and travel opportunities the Netherlands offers. She buffets this with her extensive travel experience both in the Netherlands and Europe.
Kristen has contributed to various print and online publications aimed at travelers to Europe, and her diverse editorial experience runs from academic to popular publications.

For me, daily life in the Netherlands holds constant reminders of the illustrious past and present of the Low Countries. And despite its modest size, the Netherlands continues to be one of the international movers and shakers in science, culture and history. At the same time, the Netherlands – even Amsterdam – often feels like a well-kept secret: there's so much below the surface that tourists rarely find without the help of a local. As a "resident outsider" – an American expat in the Netherlands – I have access to these insider tips, but also a sense of what appeals most to visitors, since I'm both at once!

TC THE ADVENTURES OF AMOS 'N' ANDY: A Social History of an American Phenomenon. By Melvin Patrick Ely. The Free Press. 350 pages. $22.95.
IN February 1930, a reporter for the Baltimore Afro-American described how several dozen black women participating in a bridge tournament wrapped up the event quickly one evening in order to rush home to tune in the nightly 15-minute episode of "Amos 'n' Andy" on the radio. The reporter, herself a fan of the comedy series, did not manager to catch the show. "I'se regusted!" she wrote, mimicking a catch-phrase of the program's malaprop-prone Andy. "I missed 'em."
She would have been one of the few Americans, black or white, to do so during that long-ago winter. Back then, this nation seemed to come to a halt every night when "Amos 'n' Andy" came on the air, entranced by the ongoing adventures of two rustic but city-dwelling black men who in actuality were portrayed by two white performers, Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll, using dialect humor reminiscent of 19th-century minstrel shows.

The episode opens up with Dr. Maxfield still being a dick, experimenting on baby vamp Jesse. We didn't see anything from Jesse in the last episode so it's nice to know he's still alive... of course, knowing TVD it won't be for long. As soon as I saw Dr. Maxfield, I instinctively tweeted about him being the worst person in the world and wishing someone would kill him already. I thought I had gotten my wish when Jesse broke free and chomped into him, but I wasn't that lucky...
Bonnie: It's huge right? It even has a fireplace. I mean what dorm has a fireplace?
No dorm. No dorm has a fireplace. Anywhere. Ever. This dorm is even less true-to-life than the fake NYU dorms from Felicity. I know that Caroline and Elena probably compelled residential life to give them the best room on campus, but I refuse to believe that a dorm room like this exists on any campus anywhere in the world. I can suspend my disbelief to accept the premise that there are vampires and witches and werewolves and doppelgangers... but this dorm room is too unbelievable.
Caroline and Elena enter bearing alcohol for a party that evening and cheesy exposition for the viewers.
Bonnie: I'll talk to you soon. Bye!And then Bonnie offers her own exposition:
Elena: And by the way mom, I'm not a witch anymore because I died and I came back from the other side.
Caroline: Yeah I'm the supernatural anchor that connects our two worlds together...
Elena: So technically I'm a ghost that people can still see and touch so...
Bonnie: Okay, so I left out a detail or two.
Bonnie: Augustine right? The one who covered up your roommate's death and wants to kick you off campus?
Come on TVD, you're better than this. Show not tell! Ugh, wish I hadn't said that... because they immediately jump to a gross PDA session between Bonnie and Jeremy, which is interrupted when a newly dead witch has to cross over to the other side through Bonnie. Ouch.
Elena: I know this is gonna sound lame but...They give Damon all the best lines. Elena wants Damon to come to Bonnie's "welcome" / "welcome back" party and to bring Stefan, who now remembers that he hates them. (She also invites Aaron - friend of the dead roommate/ward of Dr. Maxfield). Stefan is still having his vampire PTSD from repeated drownings over the summer. He's not up for a party tonight.
Damon: Anytime you start with "this is gonna sound lame", guess what... it is.
Back at the Grille, Katherine bonds with Matt as she helps him figure out who is in his head and what they want. She explains who the Travelers are and that one of them is hitching a ride in his brain. She also figures out that it was her daughter Nadia who put the passenger in there.
Back at the dorms, Caroline takes a minute to shame Elena for dating Damon and then gets a call from Jesse.
Caroline: Well look who rose from the dead.
Ha! Literally. He needs her help before his roommate comes home (and he inevitably eats him). Of course his roommate is Aaron, this poor kid can't catch a fucking break. He hasn't lost enough people in his life... Maxfield had to make his roommate a vampire? It took me a minute to figure out why he would've called Caroline of all people for help, but then I remembered that when someone becomes a vampire he or she remembers all the past "compulsion" that's been done to him. So he probably figured out Caroline would understand. He tells her about how Maxfield expirimented on him and injected him with "soem weird blood" (Augustine blood). Maxfield is still alive (darn) but locked in the lab. Question: How is it that Jesse got from the lab to this dormroom? It is clearly daylight outside... and he doesn't have a daylight ring. And they don't even have Bonnie to make them a new one since she's not a witch anymore. Elena shows up with their stash of blood.
Jesse: Our stash? You're a vampire too?
Elena: You say it like it's a bad thing. First rule of being a vampire is realizing how awesome you are.
Um, it's kind of a bad thing, no? Caroline wants Jesse to use his blood to heal Aaron, so he can see that vampires can hurt and heal.
Jesse: Holy crap that's insane.
Caroline: You wanna teach him about compulsion?
Aw, this is a cute little vampire training session!
But don't waste your time girls, people of color don't get to live that long on TVD.
The dorm party is hopping. No where else on earth could a dorm party fit this many guests.. they're just lucky they have the hugest dorm room ever. Damon is in the lab with Dr. Maxfield to question him and Caroline is sure he will kill him. (Also, it's weird that Elena and Caroline refer to Dr. Maxfield as "Wes". He's not your teacher/buddy like Alaric was... he's a college professor/sociopath who basically told you to leave campus. Why are you on a first name basis?)
Caroline: You realize that you're wrong, right?What kind of person? The hot kind? The so utterly devoted to his girlfriend kind that he made a deal with not one, but two totally crazy people last episode just to get her BFF back from the dead. Yeah, man what a dick. (Yes, we know Damon was also a little bit of an evil vampire serial killer in the past, but eh, so was Stefan... and in Mystic Falls, really, who isn't?)
Elena: Okay look I know that you're not crazy about Damon and I being together.
Caroline: No no it's fine. I'm fine with you two being together as long as you can acknowledge the kind of person you are together with.
Damon wants answers from Maxfield and he's going to use a bunch of infectious diseases that the lab just happens to have lying around.
Damon: Not in the mood to talk? Fair enough. We're going to play a little game where I inject you with whatever the hell necrotizing fasciitis is...He injects him and asks him questions. If he answers correctly he will give him some vampire blood to heal him. If he doesn't...
Maxfield: It's a flesh-eating bacteria.
Damon: Gross.
Damon: ...we're just gonna have to see how much flesh these little guys can eat.Back at the Grille, Katherine drinks with Stefan who just wants to be left alone! Nadia shows up and looks pissed. Just last week Katherine said she never wanted to see her again and now she's called her for a favor. Stefan agrees to help Katherine and Nadia get Gregor out of Matt.
Stefan: Just out of morbid curiosity, which one of you is younger?Matt gives Katherine the knife that the Traveler left behind at his place. Nadia tells Gregor to "come forth".
Both: I am.
Katherine: Hello Gregor. I'm Nadia's mother. It's a pleasure to finally meet you.She shows him the knife and he admits that after Silas was dead he was meant to kill her (Katherine). It's what the Travelers want and he doesn't question their orders. He used Nadia to get to her.
Gregor-Matt: What do you want?
Katherine: Here's the thing. Nadia's my only child, so naturally I'm suspicious of anyone who wants to date her. Why don't you tell us the real reason that you're in Mystic Falls.
Katherine: See why I don't want you dating my daughter? Because travelers are ruthless manipulative hypocrites. I know, because your grandfather was one.She stabs Matt in the stomach. She says he will be fine, but Gregor won't be. She expelled his spirit. (That's why he wanted the knife. It's the only thing that will truly kill a passenger.)
Back at the party, Bonnie has a chit chat with the old witch who died earlier. She says that the pain is gone now that she's on the other side. It looks like Bonnie regrets becoming the anchor... she feels all of the pain, but gets none of the relief. But then before she thinks about it too much Jeremy is there to remind her what's worth living for. Sex with a high school boy!
At the lab, Dr. Maxfield claims to Damon that he's working for the greater good. Damon says it sounds like Mengele-level crap he's spouting and injects him with rabies. Fun! He admits that he wanted to change Jesse into a "new" kind of vampire - one that isn't dangerous to people because they don't use humans as their food source.
Dr. Maxfield: Human blood will only satiate Jesse temporarily, until he gets a taste of what he really craves.
Jesse and Caroline dance at the party and kiss. He accidentally bites her lip, which bleeds a little. He immediately craves more so he says he has to leave and rushes out.
Aaron shows up at the party and he and Elena do jello shots. (Sidenote: Nina Dobrev does not know how to properly do a jello shot. Just sayin'.) He tells her that Dr. Maxfield is his legal guardian and they commiserate over all the dead people they know. Awesomely fun party talk. Aaron's parents were killed "by bears" on a camping trip. Sounds like a vampire death coverup story. Dr. Maxfield took him in and he's the closest thing to family that he has left. She calls Damon and makes him promise not to kill Dr. Maxfield because she can't let Aaron lose the only family he has left. And is it just me or is Elena being a little too flirty with this guy for someone who has a boyfriend? Leading him on much...?
Back at the Grille, Stefan is having another PTSD flashback freakout. Katherine goes to check on him and he starts to choke her. She snaps him out of it by telling him to name the people he's killed, in order. Huh, okay. He releases her from the choke hold and says thank you. Then Nadia comes out and is upset that Gregor is dead. Katherine tells her that she deserves better and she tells her to drop dead. (Oh little does she know, she may be dead in a few months). Nadia's being a real bitch. Her boyfriend was sent to kill Katherine and used her to get to her... so Katherine killed him... Now she's mad at Katherine? Really?
Back at the lab, Damon cuts his wrist to give some blood to Dr. Maxfield but just then Jesse storms in pissed off. It's bad enough he turned him into a monster but now he wants to feed on the girl he likes (Caroline). But then he sees Damon's blood and starts to crave it. Even though Damon is older and therefore should be stronger, something Dr. Maxfield has done to Jesse has made him strong enough to overpower Damon. He bites him in the neck adn starts to feed from him, viciously. Elena shows up and tries to get Jesse to stop. She can't, so she stakes him, just as Caroline runs in to see it happen. She begs him to stay with her but he dies in her arms.
Elena: He was gonna kill Damon.
Caroline: But we promised that we would help him.
Damon: She didn't have a choice. alright? Once he had the taste of vampire blood there's nothing stopping him. Ask Dr. Frankenstein.
He goes to deal with the doc, while Elena apologizes and Caroline shames her for saving her boyfriend's life (and protecting all of them from an insatiable vampire-killing vampire).
Caroline: The Elena I used to know would've given Jesse a chance.A chance to what? Kill Damon? Kill all of them? I know Caroline is upset right now, but she's been a huge bitch lately. She better stop messing with my Damon, the one redeeming part of this show that keeps me coming back each week. And really, if you want to be mad at anyone for Jesse's death, be mad at Dr. Maxfield. Or be mad at the writers who keep killing off every person of color on the show.
Back in Mystic Falls, Stefan finds a note from Katherine to Nadia. It is a suicide note. She has run from her enemies for 500 years and now a new enemy wants her dead... the Travelers. She can run from them, but there's one enemy she can't escape... time. She's at the top of some big clocktower (where the fuck is this and how the hell did she get up there?) She jumps, guess she took Nadia's "drop dead" too literally? Stefan catches her just in time.
Stefan: What are you doing?
Katherine: I told you, you either face your problems or you run. I chose option 3.
She explains that the cure sped up the entire "mortifying process" and she's dying of old age, quickly. After being practicaly immortal for 500 years that's not something she can handle I guess.
Stefan: Hey, you're Katherine Pierce. Suck it up.And now it's time for a little romantic grossness between Jeremy and Bonnie... until it's interrupted by a dead dude!
Bonnie: Oh my god. I think Jesse's dead.He passes through Bonnie and she screams in pain. This is the first time Jeremy has seen that happen so he of course, freaks out. She explains that she is the anchor so every supernatural being that dies has to pass through her. And it happens often. He's mad that she didn't tell him. But she's just so happy to be back, touching him.
Jeremy: What?
Jesse: I'm not ready. I don't want this.
Bonnie: We knew there'd be consequences. Just kiss me.It's sweet... but doesn't that put a lot of pressure on a new relationship? I came back from the dead and deal with pain every day for us! If they ever break up, then what? (Also, let's not forget that the reason they split up in the first place - back when they were both still alive - was because he still had some residual feelings for Anna and she was jealous. Now that they can both see dead people, wonder if there will be any Anna-related drama in the future. It'd be worth it for a guest appearance from Malese Jow.)
Jeremy: (Scoffs)
Bonnie: Kiss me. You... and me... this. This is worth it. Any consequence is worth this.
As they clean up the party, Caroline apologizes for being out of line... and then follows it up by being even more out of line. Elena says she wouldn't have killed him if she could've helped it. Elena knows he was also dangerous.
Caroline: I believe you want to celebrate the fact that we can go to school and function like regular freshman. I get that. I want that too. But Elena, when are you gonna figure out that the outside world is not nearly as dangerous as the person you're inviting to your own bedroom.
Elena: Wow. Why don't you tell me how you really feel?
Caroline: The day that I stop telling you is the day that we're no longer best friends and... I hope that day never comes.
Okay first of all, it's been Caroline all along who was the most psyched about functioning like regular freshmen. So much in fact, that her first words to Bonnie after she returned back from the dead was about how they had an extra bed in their dormroom. So hypocrite much? And how exactly is any of this Damon's fault? It was Caroline's boyfriend who was killing Elena's boyfriend... not the other way around. You want to blame someone, blame Maxfield. Damon helped bring Bonnie back from the dead! Isn't she at least a little grateful? Last season Caroline had a huge flirtation with Klaus (easily the worst vampire ever and such a bad dude that her boyfriend Tyler basically chose getting revenge on Klaus over dating her) and just last episode Caroline was palling around with Katherine! Now she's going to go all bitch-fest about Damon being a bad guy? Seriously? Either she's projecting some other shit onto Elena and Damon or the writers are trying desperately to set up some future scenario, but either way it feels really contrived and out of nowhere.
(PS: Cute party dresses, but have you ever actually seen anyone dress like that to a dorm room party? I didn't go to fancy college I guess.)
Inside the lab, Damon is still with Dr. Maxfield. He's waiting to be able to compel all this away. He notices a bag of blood with the numbers 12144. Damon reveals that he was 21051.
Dr. Maxfield: You were an Augustine vampire?He flashes back to memories in a hospital bed. He was also a vampire lab rat? He thought Augustine was shut down 60 years ago but he was wrong. He decides to kill Dr. Maxfield after all, but he hits a switch that releases atomized vervain and knocks Damon out.
Damon: Augustine, I haven't heard that name in decades.
Dr. Maxfield: I'm sure Augustine will be thrilled to have you back.He wakes up behind bars somewhere and "D.S." is carved into the wall. Ugh. Unless Dr. Maxfield's work is going to create a few Damon doppelgangers, I'm not liking this turn of events.

Product Description
Mica is a natural product, that is mined but then, the individual mica is coated with FD&C colourants, or pigments, or a combination of both to achieve the colourant.
To use in soaps, pour your soaps at cooler temperatures as they will suspend the micas better. To achieve the real effect of a mica in soap, the particles need to be aligned in the same direction – you can try pouring your soap and then "combing" the surface of the soap in one direction using a spatula. You will get different results when you add micas to coloured verses non-coloured soaps. Having a background colour enhances the effects of the mica.
To add mica powder to a liquid formulation, first disperse the mica in a small amount of oil and then add the coloured oil to the batch once all the clumps are broken up. Micas are easily stirred into dry salts and powders. It is safe for all cosmetic use, including for use in makeup!!!
Can be used directly on the skin as a makeup, or mixed with various
fillers to create your own line of mineral makeup!
