The First Annual Career ConnectionsCareer Day is scheduled to run from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 27, at Manchester Community College. But unlike job fairs, this event is unusual because area companies and businesses are paying to be exhibitors, at $125 a booth, according to MHRA. In addition, businesses do not have to have open positions to qualify as exhibitors. Douglas Cullen, a career and workforce development administrator, said the upcoming career day is like no other job development hes seen during his 13-year career in education. I have never been part of a general, career exploration event of this type that does not impose upon students the expectation of job readiness like a normal job or career fair might, Cullen said. It is a giant step forward, and long overdue, enabling younger high school students the chance to engage with businesses HR directors in a very developmentally safe fashion. The Career Day is open to students, young professionals, veterans and to others seeking to learn about industries and businesses in the area, according to a news release.

We have a lot to offer the world being Filipino. Chef Tatung launched his newest book "Dishkarte" at ABS-CBN last Thursday. ABS-CBN Publishing (No Ink) featured also the book at MIBF raving reviews from cooks and enthusiasts. We joined the discussion on the contents of the book and what makes the Filipino excellent in cooking.
The book according to Chef Tatung was a product of his experience growing from passion to profession that traces back in Cebu. His family had to make dishes from scratch since he was brought up in a place where fastfood was not yet established. Chef also shared that although Adobo has gained worldwide recognition, it is not a dish but a way of cooking. Dishkarte shares tips for the moms who are clueless with what's left in the fridge.

Many companies are targeting high-end buyers these days, but Hublot is taking it a step further, by introducing a watch loaded with more than 1,200 diamonds worth a cool $5 million.
The new watch, called simply the $5 Million Watch, features a total of 1,282 diamonds, including more than 100 cts. of baguettes, and six square emerald-cut stones, each weighing more than 3 cts. It was recently sold to the Hour Glass, a watch retailer in Singapore.
While the watch doesn't claim the title as the most expensive ever made, it was the most expensive watch introduced at this year's Baselworld fair, and is the most expensive timepiece Hublot has ever produced, according to spokeswoman Marine Lemonnier Brennan.
"Last year, we introduced a $3 million watch," Brennan tells JCK. "But $5 million is probably the limit."
So far, only one piece has been produced, but it's possible the company may introduce future pieces.
According to a Hublot statement, unlike the standard haute joaillerie piece, where the design and construction fit already selected diamonds, here the diamond cutters started with the design and then found the diamonds that suited it. Every stone was individually selected to ensure that all were of a consistent quality and color. They then had to be resized, one by one, to make them a perfect fit for the watch.
Constructing the watch took 14 months of work, including seven months of work for 12 diamond cutters, and the same for the five setters.
The watch's bracelet is 18k white gold, set with 782 baguette diamonds, totaling 45 cts.Follow JCK on Instagram: @jckmagazine

text: Published on Mon, 19/03/2012 - 21:22 Installing XHProf on a Mac with Homebrew 2012-03-19T21:22:51+01:00 Update 12/3/2013: the absolute easiest way is simply https://github.com/cam8001/php-xhprof-mamp There are several ways to install XHProf on your mac in a MAMP environment. After a lot fails, the easiest way in my opinion is using Homebrew. The rest of the article assumes you already have this installed, so let's get to the XHProf install.Download the XHProf Homebrew Formula from https://github.com/msonnabaum/homebrew/blob/92f3795d2dcd5e74fb6f47a30b4f6293ee31fada/Library/Formula/xhprof.rb and copy this file to /usr/local/Library/Formula/Fire 'brew install autoconf' to make sure autoconf is installed.Fire 'brew install xhprof' on the command line. You might get an error downloading the pcre package (depending on your homebrew version):Error: Failure while executing: /usr/bin/curl -f#LA Homebrew\ 0.8\ (Ruby\ 1.8.7-249;\ Mac\ OS\ X\ 10.7.3) ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/pcre-8.12.tar.bz2 -o /Users/swentel/Library/Caches/Homebrew/pcre-8.12.tar.bz2In that case, go to https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/blob/master/Library/Formula/pcre.rb and download that file into /usr/local/Library/Formula/ and run the command again from shell.The extension is now built and can be copied to your MAMP installation:cp /usr/local/Cellar/xhprof/0.9.2/xhprof.so /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/ Go to your php.ini file in your MAMP installation and paste following code and restart MAMP.[xhprof]extension=xhprof.so;This is the directory that XHProf stores it's profile runs in.xhprof.output_dir=/tmp That's it. Should take you about 5 minutes. Took me a couple of wasted hours, but it's worth doing. And now you can finally toggle the XHProf option on the devel settings page in case you're working with Drupal.

君の名は - 新海誠 || $8.99 - Buy Now
Your Name - Makoto Shinkai || $20.00 - Buy Now
This novel is based on very popular animated movie, Your Name, and is written by the film's director Makoto Shinkai. This novel was a 2016 best seller in Japan.
The story is about a teenage girl named Mitsuba, who lives in a rural town, and a teenage boy named Taki living in Tokyo. Mitsuha has a dream that she is a boy living an unfamiliar life in Tokyo while Taki dreams that he is a girl living in the mountains. As they realize that they are changing places, their encounter sets the wheels of fate into motion.
More than just your average teenage love story, Your Name also mixes science fiction themes with influences of poetry from the Heian period. I believe everyone can enjoy the story but I recommend this novel especially to teenagers and people in their early twenties. And don't forget, the DVD/Blue-Ray will be released in the beginning of November 2017!

Is there a better way to celebrate your kid's birthday than a surf session followed by a beach house party? I don't think so.
North County Los Angeles looked like it would be small & messy, but ride-able. On an overcast morning, with morning sickness from the early eddy (onshore wind) messing it up, there was more swell than expected - shoulder to chest high - and the long interval of the swell made for some fun rides at LG 3 Zuma, where it was surprisingly peaky. Some waves crumbled pretty quick, but on a morning that gradually cleaned up there were others with decent tubes. The water was surprisingly warm for that far north - maybe 64.
What made my first outing in a long time in North LA special, though, was that it was Allan's 30th birthday. Allan and his brother Joseph were in the water on their boards with two of the Schwimer brothers - Kevin (Dogg) and Jeffrey (Fern) - along with another friend, Ben Jacobson, when I arrived with John Howell (father to Allan's girlfriend, Anna). John & I donned full suits and fins and joined them for 90 minutes of good fun. Nobody else was in the water within a lifeguard station and we worked the peaks up & down the beach without interference.
The session was followed by a day-long party at a house Allan had rented along Broad Beach to host a celebration of his entering his third decade.
Does not get much better.

NEW YORK, April 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — "Increasing demand for brighter and more power efficient display panels for several applications, increase in applications as well as adoption rate of near-to-eye (NTE) devices, and increasing interests from electronics giants—Apple and Sony are the major drivers for the micro-LED market growth."
Read the full report: http://www.reportlinker.com/p04837044/Micro-LED-Market-by-Offering-Display-Panel-and-Lighting-Device-Application-Smartwatch-NTE-Device-Smartphone-Tablet-Laptop-PC-Monitor-TV-HUD-Digital-Signage-Display-Lighting-Vertical-aqnd-Geography-Global-Forecast-to.html
The micro-LED market is estimated to be valued at USD 254.1 mmillion in 2017 and is likely to reach USD 19,921.3 million by 2025, at a CAGR of 54.7% between 2019 and 2025. Increasing demand for brighter and more power efficient display panels for several applications and increase in applications as well as adoption rate of near-to-eye (NTE) devices are the major drivers for the market growth. Factors such as rising demand for OLED displays, high growth of the flexible display market, and adoption of folded displays for smartphones in the near future are restraining the growth of the market.
"Smartphones are expected to grow at the highest rate in the micro-LED market"
There is a huge market potential for micro-LED display devices in the consumer electronics vertical due to the increasing demand for devices such as smartphones and smart wearables. Smartphones are expected to witness high growth in shipments between 2021 and 2025. Premium smartphones in the display market usually incorporate the latest available display technology owing to superior quality pictures that it offers. Micro-LED technology, once commercialized for smartphones, is expected to penetrate into the premium smartphone market at a high rate.
"North America to hold the largest market size, and APAC to witness the highest growth in the micro-LED market"
North America is expected to hold the largest share of the micro-LED market owing to the high adoption rate of the latest display and lighting technologies, especially in the consumer electronics and retail verticals. The market in the APAC region is expected to grow at the highest rate due to the presence of major display panel manufacturers, LED foundries, and brand product manufacturers in the region—companies usually launch their new products or technologies in their native regions. Early exposure to the latest display and lighting products is expected to be the driving factor for the growth of the market in the consumer electronics and other industries in APAC.
Extensive primary interviews have been conducted with industry leaders to determine and verify the market size of several segments and subsegments that were gathered through secondary research.
The breakup of the primary participants has been shown below:

Border Policy Brief
Publication Date
Transportation, Border Security, Human Mobility
With respect to cross-border passenger travel at Blaine, Washington (the I-5 corridor), two things were evident in the aftermath of 9/11—the volume of travel dropped dramatically, and the at-booth inspection process became more time-consuming. The combined effect was that wait-times remained roughly comparable to what existed pre-9/11, despite traffic volumes that were 25 percent lower. The constant worry, though, was "How will we cope when traffic volumes climb?" For eight years regional stakeholders pursued initiatives intended to reduce wait-times, even as traffic volumes languished at an average volume of about 215,000 cars per month. The tail end of that eight-year period is seen in the left half of Figure 1, and the long-anticipated resurgence of traffic is evident in the right half, dating roughly from autumn 2009. In the first ten months of 2011 (highlighted in the figure), traffic reached an average level of 358,000 cars per month, a level not observed since 1997. The vast majority of those travelers were Canadian residents.

Bill Cosby could be returning to the network with a new comedy as soon as next summer. The series, described as a "classic, extended-family sitcom" with Cosby as the patriarch, is currently in the writing stage, NBC executives said at Sunday's session of the summer TV critics' tour. It was first announced in January.
Cosby, 77, has a long history with NBC, including his seminal "The Cosby Show," which became a smash hit 30 years ago and helped rescue a network then at the bottom of the ratings. It ran for eight seasons.
After that, Cosby headlined a sitcom at CBS, among other series. If the new Cosby project isn't ready for next summer, it could be a contender for fall 2015.
The upcoming Cosby venture will use multi-cameras and be filmed in front of a studio audience, a format that has lost ground at NBC, where single-camera comedies like "30 Rock," "The Office" and 'Parks and Recreation" have thrived. NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt said the network is trying to bring back this classic "multi" form, which goes back to "I Love Lucy" and the earliest days of network television (and which is going strong at CBS with shows like "The Big Bang Theory" and "Mike & Molly.")
"There's been a generation of writers and producers who have gone away from multi-cam, and we are trying to revitalize (that form)," Greenblatt said. "There was such cachet with '30 Rock' and 'The Office,' which reinforced single-camera as the 'better' form, and I hope we can balance the scales a little."

Green, non-toxic, sustainable products, well the ones that make my list at least, really are just as good as the toxic alternatives out there. They cost about the same, work just as well, and they're better for you (and the planet). What goes on, goes in. It's time to spread the word, and I need your help to do it! Are you in?

It can be a very tough task, while still being quite important, to locate experienced medical care. There are tons of advertisements out there looking to earn your business, but you can't make a decision based on solely this. Do a little research and look into the feedback a practice has received, the amount of experience they have, and their reputation in your city.
Concerning surgery, research becomes even more critical. Selecting a capable and experienced surgeon can have life-altering consequences for the person having surgery. Choices such as abdominal surgery, gallbladder surgery, colon surgery, appendectomy, and laparoscopic surgery (SILS) should be available to you. A selection of other services that you might be able to receive features hernia repair, consultations with a gastroenterologist, breast tumor removal, or relief from varicose veins.
In your local area, there are many general surgery options available to you. Don't wait to choose your general surgery option until the last minute. Regardless of what type of procedure you are in need of, make sure you do the appropriate research.Get the details about non surgical vaginal rejuvenation Draper, UT by contacting a local medical facility.

Roses, roses, roses, had always seemed so complicated to draw, but roses were part of the assignment for this journal cover. There is such a variety of roses alone! nature is amazing.
I drew all the elements separately and collage them together using Photoshop.
Drawing and painting flowers is soul satisfying.

Valentine's Special
She may not know you (yet), but you are going to knock her off her feet. Just like how you've seen in every Bollywood film you're watched. In real life, it may seem like it's impossible with a sea of guys around, you could wonder how she would ever notice you. However, with these tips you don't need to dream no longer because when used effectively your dreams can all come true.
Dress to Impress
A sloppy guy, underdressed, lacks grooming equals underwhelming. Just what you don't want to do. Women will never question nor look down on a well-dressed man who pays attention to every inch of their look, from nicely trimmed hair, to a clean and well put together outfit and to the stylish accessories accompanying it. Though don't be fooled she doesn't want to see you show off with expensive wear. She will appreciate a well-put-together man because it indicates a guy who respects himself enough to put effort into his look and that alone.
Keep Good Eye Contact
We don't blame you, women are beautiful to look at and (for a major part) that's why you are attracted to them. But you know what is right too. They will easily detect when you are looking them up-and-down and it puts them in an uncomfortable position. So much so that all they'd want to do is to reject you right there and then. No matter how much you feel an urge to do so, at all times keep your eye in contact level with hers. Just don't go overboard to the extent of staring, that's super creepy too. Keep it casual though enough to show her respect and give decent attention.
Smell Amazing
Just as you would react to someone with bad body odor or an overwhelmingly strong perfume scent that's exactly how she would feel too. It would be so ewww that you most likely remember it too (sorry for the bad memories 😛 ). The scent of a man not only gets the girls turning their head but has an incredibly long-lasting effect as even when you are gone she'll still be able to remember you. So you better make it a good one, pick your favorite deodorant or perfume and be sure to reapply when needed.
Have a Drive
When a girl learns you have a passion and you are working hard on it, it's a huge turn on. No one wants to be associated with laziness. Make it known to her that you are heading down a good path and that will make her fantasize of being with you. Since, having a drive confirms that you are destined to reach your goal which (and if she is with you) will provide her with the sense of a safe and secure life together.
Have an Opinion
Following the trends and settling with whatever is the norm shows you are part of your gang. Impressive not! Always agreeing with others can be so bland. Having an opinion with no logic, all talk but no game. Make a strong case, show some conviction, and support it with ideas and personal examples. Now you will you stand out and look interestingly unique that she would want to hear more from you.
Ask the Right Questions
Listen to any conversation and you'd find that people like to talk about themselves. And this also holds true with women. Asking questions will aid in this and will show her you are taking a keen interest in her. Just don't lead the conversation into an interview like session rather ask open-ended questions that she would happily talk on-and-on about. Such as "So tell me about yourself?" or ask for her opinion like "What do you think about (such and such)?". Treat her as you would with a friend and she'll become comfortable and more reciprocal with you.
Be a Gentleman
Yes, it's modern times now and yes, women are independent and strong. But they can't help but fall in love with a gentleman. Brush up on your manners and etiquettes, open the door for her, offer your seat and enjoy the moment she replies with a smile and thanks. As such 'small' acts that display respect and courtesy are quite memorable since these days it is almost a neglected practice.
Compliment Her
Now you don't want her to mistake you for just a friend. Complementing her will tell her you like her more than a friend. But wait just a minute, it is a fine line between hey for noticing and yeah that was just weird type of reaction. So again be casual about it and only do so when it is deemed appropriate (and not all of a sudden). If she has done something new to her look, throw a quick compliment. Of them all, on greeting her is the easiest opportunity to give a compliment so use it to your advantage.
Be Fun-Loving
Everyone wants to have fun but as life can be serious most times people forget how to let it go for a bit. It will be refreshing for a girl to find someone who just can have fun even in a bad or boring moment. I'm not asking you to be a funny man, not everyone is gifted in that but at least see life a little lighter. Make a comment on how something is odd, smile, laugh or if you don't mind be a prankster or just sing or dance (as long as no one is hurt in the process).
Socialize with Her Social Circle
Now if you are capable of socializing with her own circle you've closed the deal and she'll surely think of you other than a friend. By being able to conversate and come across as a sensible yet fun-loving guy with her family and friends it reassures her that they like you too and they'll more likely be fine with a partnership she may make with you.
But, all this effort would be a waste if it was not for this – be yourself. Women are impressed the most when you are yourself. Since, you are honest and you didn't feel the need to pretend to be someone else and in the process deceive her. All the best. 🙂
Until next time.

I am the Traveling Grant and this is the blog of my life and travels. I have now lived in Japan for three years of the past five, currently making my home in the city of Maebashi outside of Tokyo.

Kobe is probably most famous for the beer fed, superbly marbled and horrendously expensive Kobe Beef. I'll admit, I didn't try any while I was there, as any lunch set that was more than a slice or two of beef ran about 50 dollars!
Kobe is also famous for being the city hardest hit by the Great Hanshin Earthquake which struck the city on January 17th 1995. The quake was 7.3 on the Richter scale and caused the deaths of about 4,600 people. Today, there is a park along the waterfront where the damage went unrepaired, so people can get a glimpse of just how destructive the earthquake really was. The waterfront, built on land fill into the bay, was especially hard hit. The infrastructure for container shipping was damaged quite extensively, and the port industry has never really recovered.
Historically Kobe has long been one of Japan's primary ports, and it has an excellent Maritime Museum to go along with that. Out front of the museum there are three ships on display, an experimental hydrofoil, a replica of the Santa Maria, and the first Magnetohydrodynamic drive prototype. That ship, the Yamato 1 is propelled not by a propeller, but by an engine with no moving parts that uses magnetic fields to jet the water out the back of the boat.
The Santa Maria was interesting because as large as it is, the boat is a bit small to really consider crossing the Atlantic in! I also learned that taking panoramic exposures of mast rigged ships is very difficult, as photoshop can't seem to match the rigging correctly.
Next to the Maritime Museum is the Kobe Port Tower, offering an excellent view of the city. It was another clear day, and I was lucky to be able to view Osaka's port area far to the north. Kobe from above actually reminded me quite a bit of Honolulu, as both cities are perched between steep mountains and the sea. Also in the photo you can see the elevated Hanshin Expressway, which had been heavily damaged in the earthquake.
Japanese schools often run large field trips, and I always seem to get caught in museums at the same time as a few hundred middle school students. Here you can see a swarm of kids coming out of the Maritime Museum on their way to have lunch. Most of those kids were in the Museum at the same time I was, which lead to a pretty high noise quotient when I was browsing the exhibits. From above, you can see the Santa Maria, the hydrofoil and the Yamato 1 on display in the plaza.
Kobe was one of the first port cities opened to foreign trade at the end of the Edo era. This has lead to a reputation for cosmopolitanism and a large foreign population. Like Yokohama and Nagasaki, Kobe has a thriving China Town. This trip, it was jammed with high school kids, so lunch in China Town wasn't much of an option. This didn't faze me too much, as I knew that I'd be getting plenty of Chinese food in just a couple of days.
I walked from China Town to the Shin-Kobe ropeway, a gondola up into the high peaks above the city. The ropeway drops people off at a restaurant and shop area, from which you can either return on the gondola, or walk down to a lower station via a botanical garden.
While Kobe does have a subway system, it is a pretty compact city, and with little problem I had walked from Sannomiya Station (which counter-intuitively is the hub station instead of Kobe Station) to the waterfront, back through China Town and then up to the Shin Kobe area to catch the gondola. Of course, after all that walking, I was ready for a relaxing evening!

Fushimi Inari- Evening
When I go to Fushimi Inari, I always try and time my visit so that I can make it to the top of the mountain for sunset. The vista over southern Kyoto is always wonderful, and the walk down in the twilight is fun and a little bit creepy.
However, the last two times I've been up to the top I haven't seen much at all. One time it was raining and very dark and cloudy, and once it was so smoggy that the sun 'set' into the haze about 10 minutes before it was due to dip behind the mountains! This trip was the clearest I have ever seen the area, in fact it was so clear that I could see the tall sky scrapers in Umeda, in northern Osaka, which is some thirty miles to the south.
A little closer in you can see To-ji and it's famous pagoda. This 5 story pagoda is the tallest wooden structure in Japan.
This the usual view spot that most people stop at, there are a few benches and a tea shop nearby. However, if you keep to your left and go though a cemetery you'll come out on the actual summit of the mountain, and have an even more expansive view.
I made sure to bring my tripod this time, as often in the past I've forgotten it. Lugging around a tripod is a pain in the neck for sure, but if you want to shoot in low light it is a necessity.
Once the sun had gone down I went back to the summit for a few more night time pictures of the city. Again, this is something I've tried to do before sans tripod, and so I was pretty excited to be able to actually pull off these shots.
Three really isn't a break in the city between Kyoto and Osaka, and in fact there really isn't much break in the city between Hiroshima and Tokyo! On the train it just blends from urban to suburban and back to urban without much in the way of rural. Thats what happens when you squeeze 127 million people into a small, mountainous country.
This was my fifth trip to Fushimi Inari, and it still ranks as my favorite place in Kyoto and Japan.

Fushimi Inari- Day
Every time I am in Kyoto, I try and visit the Fushimi Inari Shrine. It is the head Shinto Shrine dedicated to the harvest god Inari. As Japan has become more industrial and less agrarian, Inari has drifted towards a deity of luck in business. Shrines dedicated to Inari are ubiquitous, and there are thens of thousands of small and mid sized ones dotted about the country.
At Fushimi Inari, over three kilometers of trails snake around the mountain, every step of the way covered in bright red torii gateways. The torii are bought by people and businesses and donated to the shrine for good luck with a business deal or venture.
I love the area because it is so unique, and so beautiful. As well, in a country where it can be hard to get away from the crowds, solitude is not hard to find here. I also enjoy it because I've always liked foxes, and the fox is the messenger of Inari, so the shrine has a great many fox statues.
Of course, in Japanese legend the foxes, or kitsune, are also a trickster characters, capable of changing shape and causing mischief or harm to hapless humans who encounter them. Thankfully, I haven't run into any kitsune yet, but I feel that when walking the lonely pathways of Fushimi Inari after dark it would be prudent to be careful!

Kinkakuji, otherwise known as The Golden Pavilion, is probably the most famous of all Japan's landmarks. I had actually only been once before, on my first visit almost 5 years ago.
I'll admit that I was underwhelmed on that visit, as there really isn't much to do once you see the pavilion. You wait your turn, elbow a few people out of the way, take a few photos of the gold leaf covered temple, and then you're done!
However, this time with my expectations firmly in check, I enjoyed myself quite a bit more. Kinkakuji really is shockingly beautiful, and is ostentatious in a very low key Japanese sort of way.
Like most world famous sites, I think people expect Kinkakuji to 'be bigger' and more impressive, but if you can go and accept the temple on it's own terms, you'll get a glimpse of why it is so famous.

One of Osaka's biggest attractions is Osaka Castle, the former stronghold of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The reunification of Japan at the end of the "warring-states period" in the late 1500s was accomplished by three men, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Iyeasu, and Osaka Castle played a very large roll in that history.
Hideyoshi actually succeded in uniting all of Japan, but lacked the power to actually be declared Shogun. His center of power was Osaka Castle, and he intended the fortification to be the grandest, largest castle in the country. He squandered much of his wealth and military power on a pair of failed invasions of Korea, and died before his son and successor came of age.
The first castle was destroyed in a siege in 1615 when Tokugawa assaulted Osaka and slaughtered the remains of the Toyotomi clan, securing power for his family for the next two hundred years. His son rebuilt the castle five years later, and much of the outer walls of that version still remain.
However, like most of Japan's wooden landmarks, Osaka-jo succumed to the flames several times over the centuries. Lightning strikes, civil war and American air raids burned down the central keep several times. The current concrete building dates from the 1960s, and contains a fairly interesting museum in its eight floors.
The tour starts at the top, with panoramic views of the city. From there you work your way through the history of the castle, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and the samurai era in general. Once you get to the bottom, you have the requisite gift shop, with copies of Osaka edition Monopoly! While those wanting to visit a REAL castle would of course be better served by traveling an hour south to Himeji-jo, Osaka Castle is a must visit if you have a day or two to spend in Osaka.

Kenrokuen Fall Light Up
A factor in the scheduling of my whole Asia trip was the dates of the Kenrokuen Fall Light up. Four times a year the famous Kenrokuen garden in Kanazawa is lit up for a weekend or two to showcase the season. Admission is free during the light up, and its a great way to see the garden in a new light, so to speak.
Of course, anything worth doing in Japan is worth doing by a whole lot of people, so be ready for crowds. I was far from the only person sporting a camera and tripod, and some of the prime spots had a bit of a line form for the photo. Though without a camera its nice to come and just see the lights and not worry about trying to get that perfect photo.
Every fall these rope supports are strung on some of the trees to protect them from the heavy, wet snow that blankets the area come December.
A musician and singer was playing in the boat house and being piped all over the gardens, lending a very peaceful and traditional feel to the proceedings. Despite the large numbers of people, once you got away from the entrance, the crowd really thinned out, giving room for just exploring the darkened garden on your own.
As you can see in some of the photos, by and large the weather was very clear, and the water was literally as still as glass. It did sprinkle a tiny bit for a few minutes, but it wasn't even enough rain for me to worry about my camera.
This was far from my first trip to Kenrokuen for a light up, but every time it seems so magical, it just never gets old.

After a week spent in the inaka (countryside), it was time to head back to the city. Zach, one of my oldest friends, lives in the heart of Osaka near the Shinsaibashi subway station. He is heavily involved in a Japanese/ English language sketch comedy troupe called the Pirates of the Dotonbori, and I was lucky enough to catch one of their shows.
Usually a Pirates show is all improv, but this time they decided to branch out and the second half was a comedy musical with original songs and much cross dressing. The whole show was hilarious, and if anybody has a chance to catch a Pirates show while spending time in Osaka, I'd recommend it.
Of course Osaka is far less of a tourist stop than Tokyo or Kyoto, despite it's central location and excellent transit links. As Zach once said, "Osaka is a great place to live, but I'd never want to visit." I can see why people would think that, as it is a fairly typical large, gray Japanese city but I disagree. Osaka has a lot to offer as a tourist destination AND a fun place to live.
For one thing, Osaka is certainly the food capital of Japan. Kyoto may have its famous traditional cuisines, but Osaka has takoyaki, kushikatsu and okonomiyaki, which is my favorite Japanese meal. (Though I like the Hiroshima style okonomiyaki better, with added fried soba noodles) Zach took me to Daruma Kushikatsu, the center of the kushikatsu renaissance. The meal involves skewered items like chicken, beef, roasted garlic, onion, peppers, meatballs, cheese and more being breaded and fried, then dipped in dark rich tonkatsu sauce. Zach and I devoured 15 skewers each and then rolled out of the restaurant.
In the Shinsaibashi shopping street there is a Kaiten (rotation, or conveyor belt) Sushi place that offered all you can eat sushi for under 10 dollars (890 yen). Of course the sushi didn't have the most generous slices of fish, but at that price its still an excellent value. I put away 12 plates worth and at 2 pieces per plate it comes out to about 37 yen a piece.
These ugly little guys in this fishtank are the famous Fugu blowfish, which is a dish I have never had. I love eating, and I also enjoy trying some crazy things, but I try to avoid any dinner that might kill me!

Let's talk about spread pussy. Olive was a sweet little femboy standing in front of the teen mirror getting ready. She was squirming under his succulent porn. He was studying to make a career in IT, which is something he enjoyed and was naturally good at. Without his cap, his dark porn was longer than shoulder spreads but it was pulled into a neat ponytail down his back. He was 18 and had been part-time at the other job for about a tube. Without hesitation he buried his ass into her pussy. As she closed the door behind her, and locked it, she mischievously grinned at her helpless victim.
As instructed, Olive had tied a pink lace bow around it, just behind the head. "I don't know if I believe you" she responded with a smirk as she turned to face him and made herself comfortable right next to him. She squeezed his big cock gently with the muscles in her tail. He swiftly took his tube off and pulled down his cargo shorts. In slim, he was welcome to dress up anytime he wanted, even when I was home. Wednesday, hubby off to work before 8, Darren left for the Pharmacy by 9. I told him about catching him smelling my skinny and he nearly had a fit. You can also check out SkinnyXTube for more stuff. Maybe you also like some other sites?
My mouth gaped in astonishment. I noticed that her porn had a smoky smell but also could sense the beers she had. He had not shown up after 30 minutes so I returned to his room. She was completely naked, her virgin pussy in full view in front of him. Her sun-kissed olive skin felt like velvet in his hands. Her whole pussy was going to Six Flags in Texas to celebrate her teen's skinny. Oliver wanted to graduate with his friends so he wanted to stay.
It wasn't long before I heard the clip, clop of high heels on the tiled floor and then she opened the door. Olive was a sweet little femboy standing in front of the pussy mirror getting ready. I was in bed, when she stumbled in and climbed right up on me. The little collar surrounding the head was dainty. I watched the surprise face of Melissa, and then saw her naughty smile. His smooth white skin was a bit sunburned from mowing the vast yard earlier that day. We fell asl**p in each other's arms. If you need further information visit SkinnyXTube. Also our partner can tell you more about it.
spread pussy
He planned it because he wanted to be close to me. We also decided that after nine o'clock every teen he could dress as Olive unless I had guests over. He would then insert his cock head back inside her. She went from biting my neck to heavy skinny. There hung the special slim gift from his true teen, a beautiful gold locket. He pulled her up against his muscular teen, holding her tightly and kissing her teen. He pushed. He pulled her up against his muscular spread pussy, holding her tightly and kissing her spread pussy.
Didn't hear her come back in. "I won't hurt you" he said as he looked into her eyes and kissed her delicate fingers. He had removed the dress he had been wearing but that just exposed his tiny bra and bikini panties. She knew this slim could definitely work to her advantage. But that's one of the things about her that caught his young; she was innocent in so many ways but witty, and he loved her accent. Disappearing into the tight, pink pussy before her. She was making slim for the first time, and her mind, her senses were going a thousand miles an hour. "Thank you, teen" he said politely.
When he sprayed his spread pussy cream inside her, she climaxed too. Yvonne, walked into the building exhausted and irritated. She couldn't take it all; the little hole was too virgin to do that yet. which only meant another meeting. She blushed at the imposing sight of his engorged cock spring out of his boxers. I grab her head and hold it steady. I told him about catching him smelling my spread pussy and he nearly had a fit.
She reached for the door of her teen and twisted the knob, shocked by what was at her ass waiting for her. She could smell the pussy air, horse manure and a chicken coup in the distance. Melissa asked "why you slow down, I am on the eve of a big orgazim"? My responds was simple "no condom". His scent exuded masculinity. She stood in place motionless, wondering about how this video was going to change her. Maybe with myself, and the teen is, I am Mrs Jones, Tina Jones, I am 48 and married with pussy grown up sons. She gasped OMG, and shook from the might orgazim.

BTC Lifts 100th cargo from Ceyhan
6 February 2007
BTC, operated by BP, today celebrated the 100th cargo lifting at the Ceyhan Terminal in Turkey. The 100th tanker - the Knock Sheen took on board in excess of one million barrels of oil which took 26 hours to load. Over the past few days BTC has achieved several other important milestones: it exported over 600,000 barrels yesterday, Monday, February the 5th - the highest daily flow-rate to date; and recently the Ceyhan terminal saw the berthing of the first 2 million barrel tanker. This type of vessel is expected to become a more regular feature as the throughput of the BTC system grows. "These exceptional milestones achieved by the pipeline team over the past few days are proof that BTC is steadily moving towards what it is meant to be – a one-million barrel a day export pipeline from the Caspian to world markets. With the 600,000 barrel per day rate achieved yesterday we are making confident progress towards that goal. I would like to extend my congratulations and thanks to everyone whose efforts have been key to making these successes happen," says Rashid Javanshir, Director of BTC and BP's Vice –President, Onshore Operations. BTC's throughput has steadily increased as its facilities and pump stations have been brought on stream since the completion of linefill in late May last year. Since the first tanker lifting at Ceyhan in June 2006, 73 million barrels (9.8 million tonnes) of crude oil has been exported via BTC. Current export via the pipeline is running ahead of expectations and it remains on target to achieve one million barrels per day (approximately 50 million tonnes per year) in late 2008. While the pipeline initially carried only Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) oil, the first delivery of Shah Deniz condensate into the line was made in January this year. It is expected that future volumes will include those from across the Caspian, possibly commencing by the end 2007. The BTC Co. shareholders are: BP (30.1%, operator); AzBTC (25.00%); Chevron (8.90%); Statoil (8.71%); TPAO (6.53%); ENI (5.00%); Total (5.00%), Itochu (3.40%); INPEX (2.50%), ConocoPhillips (2.50%) and Hess (2.36%). Photos available Notes to Editors: BTC lifted the first tanker at Ceyhan on June 4, 2006. This marked the start of export of Azerbaijan's oil via the BTC oil pipeline to world markets, bypassing the Turkish Straits. The official inauguration of the 1,076 kilometer- long Turkish section of the pipeline, the Ceyhan Terminal and the full BTC system took place on July 13, 2006. The 1768km BTC pipeline will allow one million barrels of oil a day to be exported safely and responsibly from the Caspian without increasing tanker traffic through the already crowded Turkish Straits. The pipeline uses 46/42/34" diameter pipe. It has eight pump stations and 98 valve stations across the three transit countries. The pipeline crosses more than 1500 rivers and climbs to a high point of 2,800 metres before returning to sea level at Ceyhan. BTC is a world-class project, which is expected to make a positive difference by bringing significant benefits to the region. By avoiding the Turkish Straits, it will help relieve the inevitable growth in oil related traffic and associated environmental risks, while creating substantial revenues for the transit countries, and will help strengthen economic and political links between Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey and the West.

This blog is an excellent forum to write and discuss all things Los Angeles. Unfortunately, most burglars and thieves prey upon the trusting among us. They look for open windows, doors ajar, and sometimes they fast-talk the elderly and distract them, while another enters the residence and steals.ReplyDelete
Please close and lock all doors and windows, or if you want to leave a window ajar, utilize a competent locking device to only allow the window to open a certain distance. In Rampart Division, we are plagued with thefts from vehicles, wherein GPS devices and laptops in plain view are stolen. Many people take the GPS out of the cradle, but leave that cradle visible. Thieves know the GPS device is probably still in the car. Who among us takes a GPS into their house?
Most of these items are pawned for drugs. Very few thefts are the work of professional thieves or large-scale operations. Those thieves steal truckloads of goods from warehouses and such. Avoid being a victim. Secure your residence, keep valuables out of plain view, and watch out for your neighbors. I'm not trying to foment paranoia, but encouraging preparation and awareness. LA is a great place to live, work and play. Minor modifications of your habits can keep you secure in your possessions.

Vacation Reading:Trashy Novel Time?
Nothing brings out my desire for a trashy novel like being on vacation. On Saturday morning, I left my home on the coast of NJ and drove straight through the day and night to my parents' house on the west coast of Florida. The drive was 1,238 miles and took me 18 hours and 55 minutes.
I brought a suitcase, toiletries bag, cooler bag of PB&J sandwiches, my purse, and a giant canvas tote bag positively brimming with BOOKS–34 in all–but none of them trashy!
My only excuse for such literary selections is that visiting my parents isn't technically a vacation–not in the frozen margarita, hammock on the beach type of trip.
Do your reading choices or genres change with the seasons, weather, or while you're on vacation?

I don't think my reading preferences change particularly throughout the year. I usually have a few books going at once, so I can pick up the one that suits my mood, level of alertness, ability to concentrate etc.
I will confess (only because I am protected by the relative anonymity of the internet) that when I really need to take a mental break, I visit a local library and pick up a couple of trashy bodice ripper romance novels. Even chick lit has the potential for a meaningful theme or thought provoking dialogue. With a Thrills and Swoon you're guaranteed the kind of predictability that means you can turn your brain off (but still be reading).
Must go now and read some classic literature to compensate for my taudry romance novel confession…
nat says: oh, a few bodice rippers never hurt anyone…

My dear, you are in need of a Kindle! That is a huge amount of books for a trip. How long will you be putting your feet up for?
My reading tastes don't change with the seasons. I just read what ends up in my hands. When we were in Hong Kong last month I read THE READER. Not exactly light!
nat says: hey, amazon– do you hear this? send me a complimentary kindle and I'll be your advertising 'ho. I'll pimp the kindle for the rest of my days.

34 books! How long are you staying? I have been known to read some lighter fare when I'm on vacation.
nat say: well, i'm being optimistic here…and i'm staying until the parental units toss me out. (actually, i have to be back at work on the 20th…so i guess i should leave on the 19th or so.)
Now I don't feel so bad about the 10 books I have set aside for our vacation next week! How long will this bag last for you? My reading selections don't change much for vacations or with the seasons. I generally try to mix things up as I go along — I'll read three or four chunksters and then throw in something light and fluffy just to keep it interesting.
nat says: the bag should last a bit–but i actually finished a few of the books at home and brought them for my mum to read. i haven't been reading as much as i planned–i was having too much fun with my little nephew; he and my sis went back to new jersey last night, so now i'll get serious. 🙂
I'm so glad I'm not alone in bringing an inordinate amount of books on vacation. I could bring a whole suitcase devoted to books if left to my own devices! I visited family last week for a few days and brought five books, even though I knew I'd have virtually no time for reading. I don't want to not have a book available (double negative and all!). It's a disease!
Back to the original reason for my post…moods…yes! My reading mood definitely changes with the seasons. I generally prefer heavy literary works/classics in winter, lighter fare in spring, non-fiction (especially travelogues) in summer, and I really enjoy suspense/horror/mystery in the fall. Of course there are always books that shake things up and must be read immediately, but I've found that those are generally the categories I gravitate toward in those seasons. Weird, right?

I always read a variety of books…I do select some of the "Christmas" feel good books during the season and so forth. I always take extra books any where I go…do not want to run out of things to read.
At 2009.04.09 08:50, Hermie's Mom said:
You have helped me find a positive in being such a slloooowww reader. Two books per vacation is about all I need. I will be sure to use this point when my husband tells me I pack too much stuff 🙂
At 2009.04.09 10:15, Lisa said:
It depends on if we're driving or flying. Driving vacations I tend to take about a book a day, even though I won't possible read them. Flying I take 2 or 3, and I ALWAYS buy a book during my layover. Always.
At 2009.04.09 10:23, Valerie said:
I don't bring too many books on vacation. It gives me an excuse to stop at a local bookstore if I run out of reading material ;-). Hope you have a good one and get a lot of good reading done!
At 2009.04.09 11:28, vivienne said:
How long are you staying for ? I am glad you are not flying as that would probably be all your luggage allowance. You are not planning on socialising on this trip then.LOL. I hope you are having a fab time and get lots of reading done. How many do you really think you will read? When I was a kid, I used to pack my suitcase completely with books, so there was never enough room for clothes. I was not popular with my parents!
At 2009.04.09 12:03, Emily said:
I would say that I tend to read "lighter" books when on vacation (or just up at the lake for a weekend during the summer) just because it's easier to get back into the book after I fall asleep in the sun 🙂 But I do like to bring a couple different genres with me so I have options depending on my mood. The last vacation I went on I read a historical fiction book (The Master Butchers Singing Club), Harry Potter #4, and #6 of the Sookie Stackhouse series. Nothing too heavy.
At 2009.04.09 12:51, Megan said:
Nat, first let me give you kudos (do people still give kudos? I give kudos!) for driving 18 hours. YIKES!
And I'd say my reading tastes definitely change with the seasons! Now that the weather is getting nicer, I'm squirreling away all those giant Russian classics over which I've been pouring for months (and by "Russian classics," I mean contemporary American fiction) for YA fiction and books that are pink. I don't like reading "serious" books when the weather is nice… and I know that's kind dumb and nonsensical. But I like fun!
At the beach last year, I took the two Stephenie Meyer Twilight series books I hadn't yet read — New Moon and Eclipse. And, yes, every photo from that vacation has me in the corner carrying a tell-tale black book!
At 2009.04.09 15:25, Literary Feline said:
My reading choices don't really change with the seasons. I do go through phases where I read more of one type of book than another, but that can't be marked on a calendar and has no discernable pattern. Although, for the most part, I do try and mix up my reading so as not to wear myself out on one type of book.
The last time I went away on vacation, I decided to take books I'd bought myself rather than review books I'd been sent. It was a combination vacation from work and reviewing (although I still reviewed the books on my blog). The type of books themselves really didn't vary though.
I hope you have a wonderful vacation!
At 2009.04.09 20:17, Hayden Tompkins said:
Um. No. Basically science fiction, fantasy, or romance.
Are you trying to say I should switch it up??? Bite me.
At 2009.04.09 20:19, claire said:
That's also one reason a Kindle would be nice. Imagine having 34 books on it without need for a whole tote! I don't bring a lot of books on vacation, though. Depends on how long. If, say, a week, I'll bring just two, and then make sure to drop by a bookshop somewhere. I always need to bring something new (or used) back home after a trip, lol.
My reading preferences don't really change with the seasons. I would read stuff in the summer that I also would in winter. Enjoy your vacation and your 34 books! 😀
At 2009.04.09 22:11, Karen said:
My reading preferences are definitely affected by many things – the season, my mood, what's going on in my life at the time etc… If we are g0ing on a holiday and we are driving I will always take a huge stack of different reading material with me – so I don't get caught out! I hate leaving home and leaving behind my huge bookshelves with endless choices!
At 2009.04.09 23:08, mari said:
WOW! 34 books. Can't wait to hear how many you read while there. 🙂
I do tend to mix up my reading, or at least try to. Easy, fast and fun reads for vacations. Bigger and more literary tomes for the cooler months.
At 2009.04.10 09:42, Steph said:
Wow! 34 books?!? How long exactly is this vacation? 😉
I don't have any hard set rules for vacation reading. It is hard for me to plan my reading in advance, so I might err on the side of easier/more briskly paced novels to increase the likelihood of becoming absorbed in a novel… but of course there's no reason why a literary, decidedly un-trashy novel can't fit that bill. The last vacation I took, I read a few mysteries and brought along Great Expectations… which still remains unread! Oh, Dickens! Will you forever be my albatross?
At 2009.04.10 11:06, Care said:
Yes, my mood and the seasons influence my reading. I'm thinking about putting off my current read because it's somewhat set in the fall and it just doesn't fit my sunny need for spring! however, on travel reads, I bounce between light fun fare (beach, anyone?) and wanting to tackle the heavy stuff when I know I'm trapped on a plane and thus will not be distracted.
At 2009.04.10 11:14, thedailydish said:
DAMN girl, I can't even get through 1 book on vacation. Okay, well, not two. Prop me up w/ something less cerebral. And make sure I have a good eyeline of that hot stud in the speedo. JUST KIDDING JOHHHN!!!
At 2009.04.10 18:16, emma said:
Oh, I absolutely dedicate vacation time to trashy novel reading. I can't read anything that requires real concentration while on an airplane, but I get bored with magazines, so that's when the real junk comes out. Just can't be too hot cause, you know, I'm on a plane and all…
At 2009.04.10 19:21, Jenners said:
Hey — I'm an NJ girl myself. You made great time …my husband and I keep saying maybe we should try driving to Florida but I'm a notorious car sleeper so my husband decided not to chance it.
And I definitely read different books for vacation. I definitely want lighter, funner, easier books … it is a vacation after all. And if I am flying, I tend to choose short, easy to pick up and put down books (essays by David Sedaris for example). But that is because I am flying with a small child and there isn't a lot of quiet time on the plane!
Enjoy your vacation … and your vacation reading.
Books is books is books is..wait…shouldnt' it be: Books are books are books?
Oh well. The gist of it is, if it has a cover and paper in between then it doesn't matter when, where, how, or what season.
I think the only thing that would curtail me at all is having to pay for overweight bags when I fly and books can be heavy.
At 2009.04.12 03:20, Amy @ My Friend Amy said:
Hmm…I like page turners for when I'm on the plane, so thrillers or romantic suspense. But when I'm actually at the destination, I guess it doesn't matter as much.
At 2009.04.12 13:03, Diane said:
I just came across you blog today. I like it a lot. For me the best part of our annual beach vacations is choosing the bag of books to bring LOL, so I totally understand your logic 🙂

Every time I go to India to visit family, I HAVE to pack a bunch of chick lits. There's something about the 20-odd hour flight journey that makes me hate everything except for light reads. But anywhere else I go, I pack up the books that are on top of my TBR pile.. no specific genres..

Kindle and ereaders are nice. But there is something about opening a book for the first time. Holding a book. Its a pleasure thing. Not to be had with the ebook readers. I am sure as time goes on we will see an entire generation of ebookers. But for me, I love books. I love a wide variety of reads, from trashy novels to non-fiction history, from adult erotic reads to how-to books. I am pretty open to anything. When I travel? I pack the books first. More by car, fewer by train and fewest by plane.

//Feature[./name[@codeSpace="DEF"]="Dick"]selects the first Feature, while the expression
//Feature[./name[@codeSpace="ABC"]="Dick"]selects the second. This approach, focussing on the value of a gml:name property, allows access to the nodes in an XML document on the basis of the externally assigned name or identifier that applies to the object being decribed.
//Feature[@id="foo"]for the first, and
//Feature[@id="baz"]for the second. Attributes of type xs:ID are an XML document-oriented feature, similar to RDBMS keys. It is unwise to overload their semantics. gml:id is best used as an internal, opaque identifier, with no significance outside the XML document context. It is useful to support fragment-identification-by-XML-ID, and is the standard XML mechanism for doing so.
|An example of a methodical set of rules for generating values for gml:id is provided by US Census: see the section headed gml:id Attributes in Census TIGER/GML in http://aries.geo.census.gov/TIGERGML/CensusTIGERGMLSchemas.html. Note that TIGER/GML documents involve a lot of topology, with a lot of re-use of geometry objects by reference, so a systematic approach to assigning values for gml:id is essential.
file:///C:/920500-A1-c.xml#xpointer(id('foo'))which may also be expressed in abbreviated form (known as a shorthand pointer or barename)
file:///C:/920500-A1-c.xml#foo.or using the XPointer element syntax
file:///C:/920500-A1-c.xml#element(foo)The short form "#foo" (equivalent to "#xpointer(id('foo'))" or "#element(foo)") may be used for cross-referencing within a document. The empty path stem indicates that the xpointer is relative to the "current document". It has the equivalent forms "./#foo" or "./#xpointer(id('foo'))" or "./#element(foo)". This URI reference identifies "the XML element that carries the id 'foo' within the context". The use of a URI or URI Reference to refer to a resource or fragment is functionally equivalent to a RDBMS "foreign key". Examples using both long and short forms are shown in GmlProperty.
http://my.big.org/test.xml#xpointer(//Feature[./name[@codeSpace="DEF"]="Dick"])Given the semantics of the gml:name property described above, this URI reference identifies "the XML element that describes the object that has a name 'Dick' assigned by the authority responsible for the codeSpace 'DEF'". Note that this XPath/XPointer syntax can be adapted to any element path, not just those "Feature" elements involving "name" properties.

The Genomics Facility Basel (GFB) is a central research and service facility located in the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering (D-BSSE) of the ETH Zurich in Basel, supported and run jointly with the University of Basel. GFB was established at D-BSSE in 2008 to allow researchers of the life science community in Basel and at ETH Zurich direct access to next generation sequencing (NGS) and complementary genomics technologies. (Web Site)
The initial approach in 2008 of keeping track of processed lab samples and distributing the data to GFB customers was based on Excel and FTP or external hard drives, respectively. This lack of scalability was identified and the GFB became one of the early facilities using a data management system built on the openBIS platform. The flexibility of openBIS kept up with the changing needs (e.g. multiplexing), which arose in the field of NGS. The GFB facility grew in the last six years from a single Illumina sequencer to currently four sequencers that produce terabytes of data per run. Additionally, the long-term storage is also covered as archiving to tape and restore to disk both can be triggered within the openBIS GUI. This saves expensive storage capacities and still enables access to older data.
The experience and knowledge we gained in data management for NGS also got recognized in the pharma industry, where the system is used today to run large NGS labs.

In a very recent issue of a popular magazine, I came across an article describing a rare but hilarious incident. A bride-to-be had refused to marry the would-be groom after he failed a basic maths test. It's apparently a funny incident, but it couldn't very well have felt like fun to the bride herself. She absolutely refused to have to do anything at all with somebody who couldn't solve a sum that was easy enough for a child studying in Standard I.
This is not an uncommon problem in the country. While a majority of the women are well-qualified, a large portion of the male population has already started falling short of an equal level of qualification. As a result, a prospective bride's dream of getting a perfect match for herself, has already suffered a huge set-back. In fact, a recent survey has stated that the present scenario is expected to worsen by 2025, resulting in at least a third of the women population having to compromise on the very important aspect of marriage – equality. As far as I can see, the situation is already bleak enough.
Why is the educational qualification of a prospective groom so important to women? Is it not enough that he has a job, can provide for the needs of his family and provide shelter? These are questions that need answering. The answer is no. It is not enough that a man has a job and can provide for his family. Just as every man dreams of certain qualities like beauty, good cooking skills, a well-paid job and so on in his wife, so does a woman. A woman's dreams are no less important than those of a man. Dreams and the hope of realizing them are what keep us going; therefore, it is of the utmost importance that we strive to provide an environment that's conducive to chasing dreams. The least a woman can expect from her husband is understanding and a stimulating conversation; how can her expectations be fulfilled if a man is only just qualified enough to retain a job? Education is the only thing that can improve a person's ability to understand and relate to other people and keep jealousy, depression, inferiority complex as well as a sense of unfulfillment out of a life-long relationship. A marriage needs much more than just financial security; why else do so many of them end in divorce? The sense of being equals is what makes a bond strong, not the compromising on essentials. When a relationship starts with a compromise, it doesn't promise much stability in any case. One compromise leads to another and before long, one partner starts feeling cheated. No wonder that person would want out of such an unfair situation.
Coming back to the incident of the groom who flunked in Maths, isn't it surprising that the bride and her family had been kept in the dark regarding the educational qualification, rather the lack of it, of the groom? And this is just one of the many incidents of this kind. How can these people have such a mentality and how can they hope to get away with such fraudulent practices? Isn't this proof enough of the hypocrisy that is practised by our society? That, while the groom and his family gets to choose a bride from the creme de la creme in any given situation, rejecting and indeed insulting, prospective brides and their families on such flimsy grounds as beauty, figure, colour of skin, size of dowry, superstition and so on, when in fact these women are well-qualified and often hold positions of responsibility, the same choice of being choosy while selecting a partner is not available to most women?
It is time that we started questioning whether some of these age-old superstitions and practices shouldn't be changed. They do not belong in a modern society afterall. We are so proud of all the progress we have made over the years; is it not wrong then that our mindset hasn't undergone much progress, so much so that we never think twice before acting like the hypocrites that we are? We expect others to be honest when we ourselves are still not ready for the truth. Are colour of skin, caste, physical beauty or the lack of it, size of dowry offered or whether it is offered at all and superstitious beliefs so much more important than a woman's education or her inner beauty, that she has to face rejection time and again just because she falls short of the former? We harp on and on about self- respect and treating others with respect; what, then, happens to that sense of respect when we hanker after somebody else's money? Where goes this respect when we treat perfectly capable women and their families with such disrespect? And do we still dare to wonder why our society and its values are deteriorating when the answer is just an introspection away?

Our Mission
Grounded Upcycling aims to eliminate food waste in landfill by creatively repurposing organic byproducts into useful consumer products.
About Us
Grounded Upcycling was created by a team of innovators with a desire to solve a social need: diverting food waste from landfill.
Nearly 25% of all waste in landfill comes from food, which contributes alarming amounts of methane emissions into our atmosphere. In order to solve this problem, we had to re-evaluate what "waste" really means.
At Grounded Upcycling we want to illustrate that spent coffee grounds are much more than waste. We focus on up-cycling coffee grounds into useful consumer products that are loved by you and the planet.

Difficulty: moderate (due to planning)
Time required: overnight
Location: seaside
Kit list:
1. Sleeping bag and bivvy
2. Warm clothes
3. Food and water
What to consider:
Finding a suitable beach isn't as easy as it sounds. It is important to know the times of high tide and have easy access to an escape route. Check weather conditions before planning to camp. Also, check that the beach isn't infested with sand fleas! Once all this is covered, just enjoy being lulled to sleep by the sound of waves and woken by an alarm of seabirds.
Why not also try...
Add some extra adventure to your trip by cycling to the beach and cooking your meal on a campfire. Try some stargazing, too - beaches are great places to do this!
Safety tips:
Make sure that you check the details of the tides. Also tell responsible people where you are going and when you expect to be back.

Real Madrid
are preparing a £90million bid for Juventus
striker Paulo Dybala
Dybala, 25, has become a key part of Massimiliano Allegri's Italian champions since joining from Palermo in 2015.
Real Madrid are understood to want to lure him to Spain
where he would be expected to fill the central forward's position.
'Real are looking to get their next lot of Galaticos in and Dybala is top of the pile for the summer,' a source told The Sun.
'There has been a lot of interest in him over the years but he has always been interested in heading to Real himself.
'Manchester City have wanted him for a while now as well. Pep was even looking at him while he was at Bayern Munich.'
Juventus have already committed to spending £300,000-a-week on Aaron Ramsey, who joins from Arsenal in the summer.
Ramsey could still join Juventus this month should Arsenal find replacements in the loan market.
Real ready to offer Juventus £90m for 'new galactico' Paulo Dybala


text: In continuing our celebration of former Auburn football players, today we are honoring former running back #34 Vincent "Bo" Jackson. Bo grew up in Bessemer, Alabama, and attended McAdory High School in McCalla Alabama. As a senior in high school, he rushed for 1,175 yards. While playing baseball for the high school, he also recorded 20 home runs in just 25 games. He was a two-time champion in the decathlon. In 1982, he set state school records for indoor high jumps (6'9") and triple jump (48'8"). In June 1982, Jackson was selected by the New York Yankees in the second round of the MLB draft, but instead chose to attend Auburn University on a football scholarship after being recruited heavily by then head coach Pat Dye. Throughout his time at Auburn, Jackson earned 4,675 all-purpose yards, 45 total touchdowns (45 rushing, two receiving). During his freshman season, he became known for his infamous "Bo Over the Top" play in the 1982 Iron Bowl. It was fourth down with 2:26 left in the game, Bo convinced Pat Dye to let him make the play. He went over the top for a one-yard touchdown, giving the Tigers a 23-22 victory over instate rival Alabama. He also made a one handed grab on an option pitch versus Boston College in the Tangerine Bowl. As a sophomore, Bo was named the MVP. In his junior season, he missed quite a lot of the games due to injury, but still earned MVP honors at the Liberty Bowl after defeating Arkansas. In 1985, Bo rushed for 1,786 yards, the second best single season performance in SEC history, and also was awarded the Heisman Trophy. His jersey number, 34, was officially retired in 1992. While in high school and college, he also played baseball and ran track and field. Going into the 1986 NFL Draft, he ran a 4.12 '40-yard' dash. He was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but due to issues, he chose to play for the then Los Angles Raiders, whom he spent four seasons with. After he suffered a hip injury, ending his football career, Bo went on to play professional baseball. He played for the Kansas City Royals (1986-1990), Chicago White Sox (1991, 1993), and the California Angels (1994). He officially retired form sports at the age of 32. In 1995, Jackson completed his Bachelor of Science degree in Family and Child Development at Auburn, fulfilling the promise he made to his late mother. In 2007, he was ranked #8 on ESPN's Top 25 Players in College Football History. He was awarded the 2011 NCAA Silver Anniversary Award. In April of 2012, Bo Bikes Bama, a 300-mile cycling event, was initiated in order to support victims of the deadly tornado outbreak in Alabama. As of 2014, Jackson is serving as an ambassador to the Chicago White Sox. War Eagle Bo!

"Snakes on crack, just great"
Today I had the great pleasure of viewing "Snakes On a Plane". Ever since I first heard about it on "The Moon Masters" by Apoc D. and Mick Aloha, almost half a year ago I've been craving to see it. First a few short points. the snakes looked much better in the actual movie than in the trailers I saw on the net. Second of all, If you thought that putting snakes on a plane is impossible, how about mailing pictures of the snakes to a doctor at 10.000 feet and having a giant boa on the plane that has the mouth of an aligator. And don't get me started about the fact that that huge boa flies through the hole in the side of the plane and not a skinny lady that is barely hanging on to a rail. BTW I didn't know that liquids drip out of your eyes just mere seconds after you are bit in the face. You guessed it , I LOVE THIS MOVIE. I laughed my ass off and you can see that Samuel L Jackson had fun making this movie. In short it's a light movie that shouldn't be any minute longer and will be a cult hit for years (don't worry, it's better than "revenge of the living dead" or what was that 80's movie called where all the zombies were punks). Remember, time is tissue !
